Bitsend Solo Mining How To?

[lankyman]

Hi,
For the love of me i m not managing to solo mine, i dont understand what needs to be done.
I have updated the bitsend.conf file with:

#############################################################################

rpcuser=darkjon

rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

addnode=176.197.217.74

I then run the command cpuminer-aes-avx --url http://127.0.0.1:8886 -a xevan -u darkjon -p worker

It doesnt work :


C:\cpuminer-opt-3.6.0-windows>cpuminer-aes-avx --url http://127.0.0.1:8886 -a xevan -u darkjon -p worker

Are you running the wallet in server mode via command prompt?

It may be a good idea to post this in the main BitSend thread too.

[lankyman]

Hi, no didnt know there was a command line option even.... i dont think i understand the wallets properly then i mean in terms of what to download.
I have this file - C:\Users\imrepc\Downloads\windows-bitsend-qt.exe

I just run that and make sure it is Synched.

Then I guess based on the file in : C:\Users\imrepc\AppData\Roaming\Bitsend\bitsend.conf
   the wallet will start up with a listening service on that port right?

Okay let me find the main thread..,. i actually did a search yesterday and i dont know how i didnt find it

[Elder III]

If you open up windows command prompt and navigate to the folder where the bitsend-qt.exe is type  "start bitsend-qt.exe -server" to open it up in server mode. I don't personally know how to actually configure the server itself, but that would be how to open it in server mode at least.

The main bitsend thread is under altcoins announcements I believe. Bitsend forums can be found at www.bitsend.info too.

[andy75]

you need to run wallet execute file with -conf
"C:\Users\imrepc\Downloads\windows-bitsend-qt.exe -conf C:\Users\imrepc\AppData\Roaming\Bitsend\bitsend.conf"

conf should include :

rpcuser=worker
rpcpassword=x
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
bind=127.0.0.1
p2pport=8801
rpcport=9998
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
daemon=1
listen=1

run miner with :
sgminer.exe --url http://127.0.0.1:9998 --algorithm xevan -u worker -p x

[lankyman]

I tried the -server mode and then i even tried :
C:\Users\imrepc\Downloads>windows-bitsend-qt.exe -server -rpcuser=lily -rpcpassword=girl -rpcport=8886 -rpcallow=127.0.0.1
Then I started CPU miner:
C:\CPUMinerMulti>cpuminer-gw64-corei7.exe --algo=xevan --url=http://127.0.0.1:8886 -u lily -p girl
[2017-04-20 22:57:28] 8 miner threads started, using 'xevan' algorithm.
[2017-04-20 22:57:31] HTTP request failed: Couldn't resolve host '\27.0.0.1'

[2017-04-20 22:57:32] CTRL_C_EVENT received, exiting

ffs

I now did this:
#############################################################################
# BitSend Installer LimxDEV
#############################################################################
# Main Settings Delete '#' for enable
rpcuser=worker
rpcpassword=x
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
#p2pport=8800
#############################################################################
# Network Settings
#############################################################################
server=1
daemon=1
listen=1


Then restarted the wallet , then started CPU miner :
C:\CPUMinerMulti>cpuminer-gw64-corei7.exe --url http://127.0.0.1:9998 --algo=xevan -u worker -p x

Now we are getting somewhere.

Now how do you include the payout address because isnt it supposed to serve to the wallet?   -FIGURED IT OUT

here is my batch file:

I dont know if it is actually doing anything, working?

[Elder III]

It looks like it's working, but please be aware that solo mining with a cpu is going to take a long time to find a block and (imo) you would be far better off mining with a pool. What CPU are you using btw? I was getting 103 Kh/s using opt-miner v3.6.1 with 8 threads on my Ryzen 1700X @ 4.0ghz.

This video might be helpful for cpu mining BitSend. He is getting a much higher hashrate as well.

Im using a machine which was given to me because i didnt expect to be doing this and recently upgraded from the world of the past AGP Athlon 2500+ to Socket 939 slightly better BUT then i jumped to FM2+ x4 860K ... what a difference. Like i said though i didnt realize i would stumble up on this which i find interesting for my mid life crises.
Being a not so well of person, i decided to buy the RX470 card and i now have it, but i seem to be having speed issues or i dont know software bugs? God knows.
I eventually got it right and re-installed the 16.11.1 driver set BETA and now it seems to be okay again...BUT although the hash rates seem to be normal again the Pay rate is really not-good  (usualy should be 1.70-> 1.85 sometimes even 1.93), i dont understand why but now it is like 1.69 its ridiculous.
I have a screen shot to prove that i WAS mining at a pay rate of 2.49 at least with only 1 RX470 and this CPU i have now - CPU seems to pay at about 32 cents to 45 cents.

Yeh so sorry to get back where i was for you , i then just dont even bother with my AMD anymore, great board and stuff but i dont like the fact that the CPU is weak.

My friend gave me his LGA 1155 i7 2600k CPU so very very thankful for that.
not the best board as it is micro atx and it doesnt overclock apparently.

It does have 2 PIC-E slots and then it has the small one also - in case i felt like putting myself in more debt i decided to also buy the PCI Riser board in which case if i ever decide to buy 2 more GPUs then i can try to learn more from the experts like you.

So thats my story , more or less.

Nicehash works great for me using the Claymor Ethermner 12 at a rate of 24 MH/s   and the XMR_STAK_CPU program which hashes at about 250 H/s   BUT wht a pain to jipo or mess around with the config_0.txt file for XMR_Stak_CPU because it keeps on mining with 2-3 threads and not the whole toot
So i just add in 4 lines and i write protect the file and it seems to work then.

I guess i still dont know what i am doing and i need to learn further

Would appreciate a demo skype teamviwer desktop share setup/config session from anybody willing to help me and because i am a nice guy i dont mind to even mine for them for an hour or couple or few.

Oh and i actually mined 5 coins in bitsend, i cant believe it.
Only thing is it has a clock next to it and it says premature so not sure what it means.
Maybe i need to leave the miner running more and my wallet open more also.

For now i am playing with Nicehash trying the ifferent versions because now my Pay rate USD/day is not good i dont know why.
its like at least 40-70 cents less on the GPU alone, its not right

Something is fishy , and i am wondering if these miners are responsible for doing something dodgy to the drivers.
Not sure.

Anyways Sir, chat later.

I am going to try remove my current drivers now 16.11.1 (beta) according to GPU-Z    and i want to try installing 16.11.4
I mean i should not have too the hash rates look fine, BUT i dont seem to hear it pumping like i used to which is why i am suspicious of the drivers i dont know? not sure if they just break or bug out ?

OLD post, but hey , i wanted to ask, what video?

Anyways, CPU mining on my laptop i3 i get about gee i dont even remember now but its like low, 15 kh i think
or maybe it was just hashes not even kilo.
I left it the whole day and when i scrolled up in the window i didnt even see one YAY or YES or block anything, damit.

[lankyman]

you need to run wallet execute file with -conf
"C:\Users\imrepc\Downloads\windows-bitsend-qt.exe -conf C:\Users\imrepc\AppData\Roaming\Bitsend\bitsend.conf"

conf should include :

rpcuser=worker
rpcpassword=x
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
bind=127.0.0.1
p2pport=8801
rpcport=9998
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
daemon=1
listen=1

run miner with :
sgminer.exe --url http://127.0.0.1:9998 --algorithm xevan -u worker -p x

Hi, would like to know if you know if there is an issue with SOLO mining on the new wallet?
I can not connect to the wallet.
If i run the old wallet it is fine.
The new wallet though, i can connect with CPU, BUT with GPU it is giving a stupid error like character { or whatever, i think they broke it to be honest
Know anything ? thanks

[Silva199]

Which is better CPU mining or gpu from bitsend?
