What other pools are available or how can we solo mine? The only pool I see has such a small hashrate compared to the total showing on the network.
The config file for the Solariscoin wallet (located at C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\solariscoin by default):
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=18921
rpcuser=WALLETADDRESS (same for mining)
rpcpassword=PASSWORD (same for mining)
daemon=1
server=1
listen=1
addnode=185.183.99.171
addnode=185.183.99.19
While I am not sure that this is required per se, it always makes sure you have at least 2 active connections to the blockchain (hopefully).
To solo mine, first make sure that your wallet is up to date as it is the one that sends the work to the workers. Then I use gatelessgate-0.1.3-pre3-win64 to set up the mining for Solariscoin. When you download that, or if you already have it, make a .conf file for it that is formatted like this (This is for an RX 480):
{
"pools": [{
"name": "Solaris",
"url": "127.0.0.1:18921",
"user": "WALLETADDRESS",
"pass": "Password",
"profile": "solaris"
}],
"profiles": [{
"name": "solaris",
"algorithm": "talkcoin-mod",
"Intensity": "18",
"worksize": "128",
"gpu-threads": "4",
"gpu-powertune": "0"
}],
"default-profile": "solaris",
"no-extranonce": true,
"no-submit-stale": true,
"temp-target": "75",
"auto-gpu": true,
"gpu-fan": "55",
"temp-cutoff": "85",
"temp-overheat": "90"
}
(I get ~23 Mh/s solomining)
Change the settings to accommodate your mining setup.
After your wallet fully syncs up, launch gatelessgate.exe. If you get hardware errors, I either explained it horribly or you messed up.
Anyone else is allowed to add info, in case I missed anything.
Also, question to the others:
Is it fine if the block on the website block explorer is different than the block stated on the client block explorer for the same block number, and that I am 2 blocks in head of it?
