Setting up Megacoin solo mining, help appreciated!

[Lethn]

Hi guys, I've gotten the hang of setting up pool mining now thanks to everyones help and digging around a lot but there's always been one thing that's been an absolute pain in the arse for me to set up, solo mining. I'd appreciate it if someone could take a look at my settings and tell me what's wrong because I suspect it will be something blatantly obvious I've missed like the right I.P address, I doubt this is the one I should be using.


megacoin.conf

server=1
rpcuser=USERNAME
rpcpassword=PASSWORD
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=7950

CGMiner Settings

color 0A
cgminer --scrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:7950 -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD --intensity 12 --worksize 256 -g 1

Starting CGMiner 3.3.0
Probing for an alive pool
Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials INVALID

I should have the server option enabled since I have a shortcut to the client with -server on it.

Put this in your config

daemon=1
listen=1

Hurray! I think that worked! Thanks! Hopefully that will help others setup solo mining too.

I don't know if this matters though but I'm getting this message:

No suitable long-poll found for http://127.0.0.1:7950

You get that solo mining - long-poll is for pools and the like (stratum, i believe).

Nothing to worry about.

You can put a pool as backup and your solo miner will pull the info from that. Makes it more efficient.

cgminer --scrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:7950 -u USERNAME -p PASSWORD -o pooladdress:port -u poolworkername -p pass --intensity 12 --worksize 256 -g 1

Wow, I just accidentally turned on my solo mining overnight and I ended up finding a block, I was ill , it's currently maturing but do I need to keep the mining going for the process to carry on?

[Lethn]

Nevermind I just found out that it confirms like a normal transaction does.

Edit: Now I'm confused but it looks like you do have to keep confirming blocks in order to have the balance come into your account.

Congrats.

You don't have to do anything more. It takes many more confirms than normal transactions to mature. You can keep mining for more blocks if you want.

Oh good, I can relax now then lol
