Title: Started soloing (just wanted to double check with you pros)
Post by: darvil on May 22, 2011, 07:13:51 AM
I have around 3500 Mhz so according to the calculator (http://www.alloscomp.com/bitcoin/old_calculator.php) average is 3 days 11 hours.

I have a machine where I setup bitcoin.conf with the info

bitcoin.conf

rpcuser=blah
rpcpassword=blahpass
rpcallowip=10.10.10.10
rpcallowip=10.10.20.20
rpcport=8332


I connected all my miners to it and seems to be all working well.  I'm assuming this is all I need to do.  Am I correct on this?  Is there a way to see the total hash amount on the machine where the bitcoin server is running?  Also I'm assuming the solved block will appear on the server's bitcoin client (whenever it solves one).

And lastly, how viable do you think this is?  Still worth soloing at this point?  I thought I'd give it a few days to see if I get lucky or not.


Thanks

Yes the solved block will appear in your balance on the bitcoind. I had much success with solo mining in my own pool, where I can see solved shares, mhash/s and more.

If you want to check that out, look in my signature.

Kind regards

Interesting! I may check the pool script that you have but for the mean time, is that constant: the rpc allow ip setting at 10.10.10.10 etc.? I have around 1,500 Mhash/s and wanted to try solo mining.  :)

rpc allow setting is to specify which clients to allow to connect. Most people's home networks are private networks (192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x) addresses, so yes.
