Perhaps I am wrong for assuming this, but my antminer is behind a router, so I am using the public IP address of the router for this. (The Bitcoin Core is on a server with a public ip address on the other side of town) I checked my file and I almost thought you hit the nail on the head as there was an extra character in the setting however that did not work 

I fully understand that there is no profit in doing this, but for me its kinda like a doctor performing surgery on a cadaver , there is no hope of the cadaver every healing but it is a good opportunity to learn.

 BTW thank you for the -server not needed I do have it in the .conf file as well, so I will stop using that.

Thank you for reply and not trying to be rude just seeking clarity, but isn't solo pool like saying go mine in someone's pool, I mean its not really solo mining right?

Thought is the easy part, it is just the act of thinking. and to think is to have a particular opinion, belief, or idea about someone or something. And thinking is just using what you think to make decisions. So in order to have thought all you do is have a continuous loop that examines information against the way the AI thinks, ergo thought. The hard part is to have a base of opinions, beliefs and ideas large enough to stimulate learning.
 

Hi and thanks for reading...

So I have downloaded the latest version of Bitcoin Core v0.10.0 (64bit) running on windows , Installed and ran, I have downloaded all the data and I am configured as a full node (Confirmed).

Now I would like to connect my Antminer S5 to it for solo mining, (I understand that there is no profit in this, however I would like to do it at least one time, to say I know how)

I have started using

bitcoin-qt.exe -server

I am able to connect using the Bitcoin-cli and execute commands no problem

I attempt to connect the miner to XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX:3333 , (DEAD)

Can someone help me with this, I have searched and searched and Pounded my head against the wall for days.
