I am solo mining btc using sha256 hw and cgminer 4.5.0. The miner is occasionally accepting shares but most are "share above target". Anyone know a solution???
In solo mining, there really are no "shares". Until your miner produces a hash that is equal to or greater than the network difficulty, nothing will be accepted. When one
is accepted, you will have mined a block, and will receive 25 BTC + transaction fees.
I assume here that you are using the GBT solo-mining mode of cgminer and mining directly to a local bitcoin node.
