Title: Bitcoin Core 0.19.1 and CGminer for solo mining Post by: david739 on October 26, 2021, 10:19:18 AM hi i have bitcoin core 0.19.1 installed and synced bitcoin.conf daemon=1 server=1 rpcuser=12345 rpcpassword=12345 rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 prcport=8332 cgminer via cmd.exe I insert cgminer -o http://127.0.0.1:8332 -u 12345 -p 12345 --btc-address BC1QJQ78FHQAXTM6XQZ8LNPTCUUY3EU6P8QTAVTM67 eror cgminer: --btc-address: unrecognized option what is wrong, please, or what else needs to be done Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.19.1 and CGminer for solo mining Post by: ABCbits on October 26, 2021, 10:43:32 AM Have you tried using legacy address format (which start with character "1")? AFAIK CGMiner development halted few years ago and doesn't support Bech32/native segwit address.
P.S. Solo mining isn't practical these days, i would recommend you to join pool instead. Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.19.1 and CGminer for solo mining Post by: david739 on October 26, 2021, 11:09:10 AM does anyone have an address to test or you don't know the software that works
Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.19.1 and CGminer for solo mining Post by: BitMaxz on October 26, 2021, 03:12:51 PM You can generate your own here https://coinb.in/#newAddress or use what I generate here 1EdYPAM2qeabxCwwi6Ktrd6ZZYctszdpEo
But I guess it won't work because I think it needs to set up a stratum server before you can mine solo What machine you're trying to use to solo mine on Bitcoin core? Are you trying to mine with your PC? if yes then it won't work. Or this is newpac CPU ASIC miner? Their official thread can be found here https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5053833.0 Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.19.1 and CGminer for solo mining Post by: BlackHatCoiner on October 26, 2021, 03:25:38 PM AFAIK CGMiner development halted few years ago and doesn't support Bech32/native segwit address. It doesn't. The following mining software has been upgraded to support segwit.
Bitcoin Knots 0.13.1 or later Btcd*
CGMiner libblkmaker*
Eloipool Stratum-Mining*
CGMiner is an abandoned project; last merge pull request was made in December 2018. How about using cpuminer (https://github.com/pooler/cpuminer) that's still in development until today? does anyone have an address to test or you don't know the software that works Yeah, it's kinda hard to generate legacy addresses nowadays. If you have Electrum, you can do it in the console by entering:Code: make_seed(seed_type="standard") That will give you a twelve-words mnemonic that once you import it, it'll show you an HD wallet with legacy addresses.

EDIT: your btc address just got capital letters, are you sure that you use the corect address? what cgminer version you are using? Cgminer was the first with segwit support, btw Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.19.1 and CGminer for solo mining Post by: david739 on October 27, 2021, 03:02:10 PM guys thank you very much for your help
I have tried these variants and it is still the same problem cgminer -o http://127.0.0.1:8332 -u 12345 -p 12345 --btc-address bc1qkvdzdrpvel6yphuqpvrk7r68zdeud7njlr67tn cgminer -o http://127.0.0.1:8332 -u 12345 -p 12345 --btc-address 15U76ze3vB1BA8SCquCDW8Yz427vE4rXyP I tried bitcoin.conf listen=1 i have CGMiner 3.7.2 if anyone has to link to cgminer what works under win or tutorial on other software i would like to run antminer solo Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.19.1 and CGminer for solo mining Post by: nc50lc on October 28, 2021, 04:47:52 AM i have CGMiner 3.7.2 if anyone has to link to cgminer what works under win or tutorial on other software i would like to run antminer solo Have you downloaded it from cgminer(dot)info by any chance?Because there's no official Windows binary of CGminer as said by the developer: /index.php?topic=28402.msg42446373#msg42446373 (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=28402.msg42446373#msg42446373) I don't know if you've downloaded a legit version but even if it's not a malware, the version is older than the version with SegWit support. Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.19.1 and CGminer for solo mining Post by: o_solo_miner on October 28, 2021, 05:27:51 AM simply insert this in your bitcoin.conf: Are you sure? bitcoin.conf example (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/v0.19.1/share/examples/bitcoin.conf#L70-L71 (https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/blob/v0.19.1/share/examples/bitcoin.conf#L70-L71)) says otherwiselisten=1 this enables the rpc connection needet to comunicate with cgminer. Code: # server=1 tells Bitcoin-Qt and bitcoind to accept JSON-RPC commands EDIT: your btc address just got capital letters, are you sure that you use the corect address? For Bech32, it's valid address. The address could be either lower case or upper case, but not mixed case.Sorry, you are right with that, I just watched my bitcoind.conf and get mixed up with listen. -------------------- @David739: please use the latest version of cgminer, you can download a binary for windows from kano: https://kano.is/cgminer.zip If you are using Linux, you can download it here: https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.19.1 and CGminer for solo mining Post by: david739 on October 28, 2021, 07:30:41 PM hi thanks a lot this variant of cgminer seems to work i will try to point the antminer to it but i don't understand why the creator didn't modify it like this

The s9 is a stand-alone miner...
You need to use either the official firmware downloaded from Bitmain or use one of the more tweakable forked versions of it that has been modified by a couple folks who btw are violating the cgminer license by not publishing their source code. Title: Re: Bitcoin Core 0.19.1 and CGminer for solo mining Post by: david739 on November 11, 2021, 04:54:15 PM thank you very much for the tip and if there was a link to the firmware i would be very grateful

Thus my git is the current master and quite a bit ahead of that old git. https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer |
