Ok i finally got Solo mining working on minerd

addnode=82.242.121.68:29029
addnode=89.212.140.63:29029
command line MINERD
minerd.exe -o 127.0.0.1:29019 -u YOURNAME -p YOURPASS
Make sure minerd and all associated files are INSIDE the dropcoin ROOT folder
hope this helps you all, when you first start the miner it will look like it is paused (but you get no errors) give it a while it will start hashing.
