TRC Hashrate picking up: How to Solo Mine (while there is still time!)

[crazy_rabbit]

With TRC now sold on Zaptos, bitparking and Vircurex, the hashrate is starting to really pick up. It's now 2x what it's been the past week or so. This is a really good sign. Currently you can still mine it effectively- even solo.

While coinotron has been suffering from DDoS, you can still pool mine at:

If you would like to Solo mine but need a guide, the new terracointalk forum (not started by me) has a great tutorial to walk you through setting up a solo mining operation.

http://www.terracointalk.org/index.php/topic,5.0.html

It's still possible to solomine, but who knows for how long.

Hurry solo mine before someone with an ASIC points it at TRC and blows TRC to the stars.

HURRY HURRY

I was just messing around with this and its working but i'm confused. It says accepted shares, should I be getting paid for these or ?

Well if I understand right, you're hashing away correctly. You don't get paid for shares when your solo mining however, you get paid only when you solve a block (20TRC payout). You get paid for shares when you're mining through a pool and the shares are how they determine how much each person has contributed to each block. So at this point, you should just be waiting to solve a block.

you do have the terracoin client running on your computer, yes?

Just look at the output of the miner and you'll see that he's connected to 127.0.0.1, which is probably the computer running a node.

No, you shouldn't get paid for these,
as you can see your "Best share" so far was 168, but the current difficulty is 996.
As soon as you get a share >= 996 you'll probably get paid (for the block created with that share, not for the share itself).

Sweet, thanks for the fast responses. I didn't know how the solo mining worked but now I get it. I have the Terracoin client running. I also rolled back my drivers because I was losing 150+MH, now i'm back up to 600+.

[JesterOfTortuga]

Ok now I know for sure its working

What card are you using? And what drivers? Thats a huge difference.

The Terracoin client does not support Longpolling or GBT.
It also doesn't accept diff 1 shares.
It has to be a pool he is mining in.

I have a 7950 and now im on the 12.10 drivers.

Im definitely solo mining. Im using bitcoinreactor as a fallover so I can use their longpolling.

Didn't know that, I only played around with TRC and p2pool (*) myself, was probably p2pool supporting LP in my testings.

It also doesn't accept diff 1 shares.

But afaik cgminer "accepts" (or rather counts) diff 1 shares internally (correct me if I'm wrong, I rarely use cgminer).


* TRC-p2pool is still running, for those that wanna try: connect to http://lassdas.mooo.com:9322 with username=TRC-address and any password

That would work, thats what I do. Although at the moment I am actually mining on bitcoinreactor- you know in exchange for someone using their longpolling. :-)

Guys: in the long term mining solo or in a pool is exactly the same (and not because we're all dead). Personally I am for a guaranteed income instead of hoping to be lucky.

BTW: if the BTC network hash rate keeps growing at this rate, I am ready to move my huge 1.2 Ghs to TRC mining in a matter of a couple of days. Anyone can say anything about TRC mining profitability? A graph like the "mining factor" here: http://blockchained.com or its mining calculator would be great.

Well I think it's still too early for a mining profitability chart- even though TRC is now on three exchanges the trade volume is still quite shallow, so any rate still wouldn't be so meaningful as there isn't the volume to back it up. That said, there are about 1.5 million coins already out there but no ones selling yet, which is a sign that people think it's worth quite a bit more then current rates, although I do buy up coins when they get low enough that I can't resist. :-)

did the diff go >9000 or not yet?? did i catch up while theres time?

No the difficulty is still lowish (relative to a week or so ago) .. from coinotron at 09:00 20th Feb 2013

TRC    15.8 GH    85%   19   0:0 h    0.00019    1000.8    0.55

so difficulty at 1000.

It has also become the second highest traded coin (by volume) on vircurex. :-)

What setting do I add to terracoin.conf to get it to allow another computer on my network to mine... I can't get it to open the port to anything other then localhost.. I have another 1.3 Ghash I want to solo mine with.. and don't want to have another client with the blockchain downloaded


Naelr

edit:  ok nevermind instead I just used ssh and port forwarded through ssh to appear as coming from localhost on machine with terracoin wallet... seems weird that the port wont open.. I see BTC and LTC ports open on this box.... same settings in their conf files... oh well

Code:

rpcallowip=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Wildcards are allowed example: 192.168.1.*   would allow all the hosts in a 192.168.1.0/24  network to connect.

[girafon]

multiple rpcallowip= lines are accepted too
