There are different types of solo mining. The most common is solo pool mining like over at ckpool. This is called pure solo mining using a local node/wallet to mine against locally. In standard pool mining you just need your standard address port user pass.  In pure solo mining you need your local address 127.0.0.1:port user (which is the local pc user name) pass which is the local PC password and then a wallet address to send to. Its the last part that newer versions of gcminer support but I havent found one that supports gridseeds that can use it.

ok before everyone tells me that I am wasting my time I am not mining bitcoin. I am mining Cheetah(CHTA) and Nengcoin(NENG) but they are in the same algo family.  These coins and local wallet nodes are pretty fun and you can make a little money surprisingly.  I am not sure where else to ask since the Altcoins forum sent me here.

I was hoping someone would know but I need a newer version of CGminer that supports pure solo addressing. I can do this in Cgminer 4.1.12 with my gekko miners but the gridseed  I cant find anything newer than 3.8.5 and it doesn't support this argument,

--btc-address <arg> Set bitcoin target address when solo mining to bitcoind (mandatory)

I was reading about following the instructions for compiling a new build from Github but I dont see anything about compiling the gridseed libraries or support files into it.

this is an example of the arguments I use for a gekko or antminer to pure solo mine with to a local node.

cgminer.exe -o http://127.0.0.1:8536  -u pos  -p cap --gekko-newpac-freq 450 --btc-address CaNJXn5KgMeaFMtgVwuJaK2rU8uPcGNCgi


The --btc-address argument is not supported by cgminer verison 3.8.5 which seems to be the most recent version that does support gridseeds.

Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated in brining this older miners back to life. Thank you in advance.

I will try over there but I am mining Cheetah(CHTA) and Nengcoin (NENG) coins with them. We use a local node wallet to pure solo mine in a way that makes it decent for older hardware and you make a little money too. :-)
