First node for my own altcoin doesn't work.

Hi there, advanced Bitcoin users, who hopefully know the answer to my problem,

So, I'm creating my own altcoin, called Sircoin. The project compiled fine, and I don't get any errors when running

Code:

./sircoind

.

Now, I'm trying to start mining some blocks just to test, however it doesn't work. I'm running the first sircoind instance with

Code:

./sircoind -datadir=$HOME/sircoin1 -port=8963 -rpcport=8962 -debug=rpc -dns=0 -dnsseed=0 -server=1 -rpcbind=0.0.0.0 -rpcuser=username -rpcpassword=passwd -rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 -rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0 -listen=1

and the second one with

Code:

./sircoind -datadir=$HOME/sircoin2 -addnode=127.0.0.1:8962 -port=9333 -rpcport=9332 -debug=rpc -dns=0 -dnsseed=0 -connect=0 -listen=1 -maxtipage=$((24*60*60*5000)) -rpcuser=username -rpcpassword=passwd -server=1 -rpcbind=0.0.0.0 -rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 -rpcallowip=0.0.0.0/0

Then I ran Poolers' cpuminer with

Code:

./minerd --user username --pass passwd --url http://127.0.0.1:9332 --threads 4 --coinbase-addr MUE6KFbKi1VUfvJAa1UTC7NkDNxoH2xppe -a scrypt -D --no-longpoll --no-getwork --no-stratum

(I already generated that address before).

But when running cpuminer, I get an error:

Code:

2021-10-08 19:21:00 HTTP request failed: The requested URL returned error: 500 Internal Server Error

If I run

Code:

./sircoin-cli -rpcport=9332 -rpcuser=username -rpcpassword=passwd getpeerinfo

I just get

Code:

[]

However, I then tried running the ./sircoincli command right after I started the second node, and got

Code:

[
  {
    "id": 0,
    "addr": "127.0.0.1:8962",
    "addrbind": "127.0.0.1:47790",
    "services": "0000000000000000",
    "relaytxes": false,
    "lastsend": 1633713167,
    "lastrecv": 0,
    "bytessent": 129,
    "bytesrecv": 0,
    "conntime": 1633713167,
    "timeoffset": 0,
    "version": 0,
    "subver": "",
    "inbound": false,
    "addnode": true,
    "startingheight": -1,
    "banscore": 0,
    "synced_headers": -1,
    "synced_blocks": -1,
    "inflight": [
    ],
    "whitelisted": false,
    "minfeefilter": 0.00000000,
    "bytessent_per_msg": {
      "version": 129
    },
    "bytesrecv_per_msg": {
    }
  }
]

, so it just connects and then disconnects.

Can anyone please help me with this problem?

Thanks in advance!
