If you plan to mine altcoins, its better to buy an NVIDIA card - it will mine Ethereum tokens and will allow you to mine other alts as well. What is your budget?

There is nothing easier.

• Download and install local wallet of the coin you interested in
• Config *.conf file of the coin by adding:

Code:

server=1
listen=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=YOUR_USER
rpcpassword=YOUR_PASSWORD
rpcallowip=YOUR_MINING_RIG_IP_ADDRESS (if you mine on PC with the wallet just add 127.0.0.1)
.....
rpcport=YOUR_RPC_PORT (Port that your rigs are connected)
port=YOUR_PORT

• Add rpcport and port to firewall exclusion

1070 is good for ETH mining.

Most new coins would have a solo mineable wallet. Just go to console and type setgenerate true.

or some are just clicks away.

It's all depend on the coin you want to mine, i used to solomine alot back then, but now its hardly possible!

open your wallet - Make sure its updated and sync with the block.
edit the conf in C:\Users\"name"\AppData\Roaming\"Coinwallet"\"Coinname.Conf"

make sure you know the username, password, ip address and port.

rpcuser=YOUR_USER
rpcpassword=YOUR_PASSWORD
rpcallowip=YOUR_MINING_RIG_IP_ADDRESS
rpcport=YOUR_RPC_PORT

On your miner instead of using the stratum from the mining pool your server should look like
http://YOUR_MINING_RIG_IP_ADDRESS:PORT
eg. -o http://127.0.0.1:1234 -u "YOUR_USER" -p "YOUR_PASSWORD"
