ok, but i'm not looking to mine to pools.
I'm looking to point some antminer S1's at a local wallet to solo mine a low diff coin.
the --stratum-port command when issued doesnt allow the S1s to connect to the host running bfgminer.
I get this message:
SSM: No usable 2D work upstream!
if i issue the --http-port, i get the message that it is listening on the port i configure
both methods show the address as DEAD on the Antminers config page
