How to solo mine?

[wontonforevuh]

I have only mine with pools before. I was wondering how to configure a .bat file to solo mine any altcoin such as dogecoin.

The easiest way to solo mine doge is with the wallet.

is it efficient though?

i have an nvidia gpu so i think using cudaminer would probably be way more efficient, i just dont know how to setup the stratum

I'm hesitant to try this just because of your post count and that it will be flagged as a virus.

The link is for a guide.

The wallet i was referring to is the official wallet.

wallet didnt work either. followed the guide but the wallet just doesnt start mining.

i use cudaminer anyways. hm...

Every coin can be mined solo.

You just need to download the wallet.

Open the wallet for first time and close it.

Then, locate coin folder in appdata/roaming folder.

Create a coin.conf file and copy the data guided on every coin website.

Then again open coin qt wallet and wait for the blockchain is downloaded.

Then use your miner software to mine.

Initially everyone gets into trouble. Do it again and again.

You will be able to solo mine.

Simple example of .bat for solo mining dogecoin:

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:22555 -u <RPCUSER> -p <RPCPASWORD> -d 1 --intensity 19 --worksize 256  --gpu-engine 650,950  --gpu-memclock 900,1250 --gpu-powertune 0,20 --net-delay --no-submit-stale

22555 is RPC port configured in your dogecoin.conf. It may be almost anything, but default is 22555.

<RPCUSER> and <RPCPASSWORD> is configured in dogecoin.conf too.

Example of dogecoin.conf:

listen=1
daemon=1
server=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
gen=0

rpcuser=doge
rpcpassword=wow
rpcport=22555


addnode=67.205.20.10
addnode=146.185.181.114
addnode=95.85.29.144
addnode=78.46.57.132
addnode=188.165.19.28
addnode=162.243.113.110

daemon=1

This looks like a great and simple explanation but could anyone give a breakdown of what is happening in a way that illustrates why it works as solo mining and what actually happens if there is a pay out?  This is what I can garner:

1.  The cgminer setup: the miner is setup to run through 127.0.0.1 which is the well known TCP/IP stack for the user computer.  127.0.0.1 is also known as the local loopback address that you could ping to determine if you TCP/IP stack is working correctly.  If you ping 127.0.0.1 and it fails then you need to fix some shit in your TCP/IP adapter settings.  In this application, the loopback address is used for great success at the Application/Presentation/Session level as indicated by the Doge configuration file.  The user/pword are setup to be coordinated with what's in the local conf file.  Since this is a local user setup a user/pword aren't really required but are there to make the protocol work.  The gpu setup stuff can be extrapolated from the cgminer read me files.

2.  The conf file: The conf file matches with the loopback address and port identified and pushes this out to the Transport and Networking layers of the process.  Mining through the user TCP/IP stack is coordinated through the matched cg miner/conf file port of 22555 and distributed to various "addnodes" listed in the Doge conf file.  

3.  Out in "addnode" land:  Mining takes place and then any lucky coins mined get transferred directly into the Doge QT wallet.  

Is that about right?

Hello,

when I want solomine another currency - for example quark. So how should look quarkcoin.conf for RFC account for my minerd CPU miner?

I commpile quarkcoind, but here I ended.

It will be mine into local wallet at quarkcoind ? How can I create wallet here? (I have only commandline here)

If it works the same as Bitcoind, your mined block reward use new address, you dont need create wallet

If it create new address - can you recommend me some link, where is describe, how work with this new address in command line for get coint to another wallet address?

And for my second question - about config file. I think, what will be another only node ip. Is it right? Where can I get this node IPs for another currencies?

@Wontonforevuh Yes it's basically something not difficult anyways you should use the "mining" section.
