Dorking around with solo mining on a spare rig and it never accepts any hashes even though it is running full tilt.



Ignore the low hash rate, I haven't optimized the client with flags yet.  Yes I know that that'd likely take years to find a block solo these days.

Running a Phoenix 2.0 client and connected to Bitcoin-qt v0.8.1-beta running in -server mode that has downloaded the full blockchain.

Where have I gone wrong?

Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

do you have a bitcoin.conf file in your bitcoin data folder with a RPC password set?

something like (this may not be exactly correct):

server=1
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=8332
grue

solo mining = hashes accepted only if it matches the network difficulty, which will take forever.

It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.

Yes, the bitcoin.conf file is configured, otherwise the client wouldn't connect to the server, right?

Here is the bitcoin.conf file:
Quote
server=1
rpcuser=bits
rpcpassword=*****
rpcallowip=192.168.0.*
rcpport=8332
paytxfee=0.00

I enabled verbose mode, here is the output:


Thanks!

Ah, that makes sense... going to be a long while before I see an "Accepted" then Smiley

it might be smart to verify your configuration is correct by mining a few testnet blocks.
