Thanks for that.
But perhaps I didn't explain fully. I don't wish to know how to setup mining solo or pool mine. I was looking to know how to get ones mined blocks to show up on those block explorer tools as mined by "XXX" or whatever I want to put in.
So I did successfully mine a block solo, and the block explorer for my block says "Mined by: Unknown". If Antpool, for instance, mines a block, it will say "Mined by: Antpool" Somewhere antpool has set some field that those tools are reading. That's what I'm looking for....
Well, I understand that, but you did not tell me with wich Software you want to do that.
This may varie from Miner Software to Miner Software.
here is an example for bfgminer:
as shown in my link:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=307949.msg6919062#msg6919062TXT file with .BAT extension in the BFGMiner folder
g:\bfgminer\bfgminer
-o http://localhost:8332
-u 14789
-p 12369
--coinbase-addr publicbitcoinadressofpayment
--coinbase-sig "bro, that's my block !" <=================== look, here is how it is done
--scan-serial erupter:all
So you know now, it is the coinbase-sig Value
