Soon some pools will be available, it is the last days of solo mining

[thecoinnoob]

I'm new to this. Yes, I am.
I was trying to solo mine with my laptop.
But, I just can't seem to get the settings right with the files.
There is the betacoin.conf to set up the server.
Then, I have to go through settings with cgminer.
It still doesn't work for me. Help?
Dev, can you do a guide? Please.

Is it only windows?

Hi,
Are you trying to mine with your CPU, GPU or any ASIC connected to your laptop? If you are trying solo with CPU or GPU now, probably it is worth because now difficulty is too high, but in near days it will go down, also you can mine in pool when it will be available (soon).  What OS is on your laptop?

In short words to start you should:
1. Download the source code and compile the client if you are on Linux or MAC or download Windows installer and install it.
2. Try to start betacoin (no matter GUI client or command line client) - you probably will see message that you do not have betacoin.conf file.
3. Create betacoin.conf file in any .txt redactor with the following content (change myname and mypassword to any name and password):

Code:

rpcuser=myname
rpcpassword=mypassword
maxconnection=50
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.0.*
rpcport=32332
server=1
listen=1
addnode=66.172.10.57
addnode=76.74.177.244

Put just created betacoin.conf file in your
/home/%username/.betacoin dirrectory if you are on Linux, or in
C:\Documents and Settings\YourUserName\Application data\Bitcoin if you are on Windows XP, or in
C:\Users\YourUserName\Appdata\Roaming\Bitcoin  if you are on Vista and 7
Remember that this folders are hidden by default, so you should enable hidden files and directories view in your OS.
4. Start Betacoin again, you probably will have no connections, because it is your first run and your client do not know its first connection.
In GUI Client after first start go to the console and type

Code:

addnode 76.74.177.244 onetry

This command will connect your client to the first node and then will receive other network nodes.
You can jus start you Betacoin client with this option

Code:

-connect=76.74.177.244

In Ubuntu command line client it looks like

Code:

./betacoind -connect=76.74.177.244 &

5. Since the first connection your client will synchronize with the network, it will take about 1-2 min, after that you are ready to go with cgminer.
6. To start solo in cgminer you  should type the following command (betacoin client should be working in the same time):

Code:

cgminer -o http://127.0.0.1:32332 -u myname -p mypassword

I hope it will help, if you have any questions, will try to help.

Is it only windows?

The source code and Windows installer are available. It was not precompiled by developers for Linux because it is 1 command to do command line client or just opening betacoin-qt.pro file in qt-creator for GUI Client creation.
If you need help in compiling Betacoin for your OS, just ask.

[betacoindev]

In the next few hours difficulty drop beginning expected. 

[betacoindev]

Linux binary is now available

now total network hashrate is about 400-500 GH

[betacoindev]

Total Hashrate is about 1TH!

I'm new to this ...

Hi,
Are you trying to mine with your ...
... I hope it will help, if you have any questions, will try to help.

This is so helpful. I appreciate it, Dev!
You're the best. The instructions were clearer now.
And it's working. Oh Gawd.. Finally!..

I'm using a Windows 7 laptop, and running it off the on-board GPU.
I've got a measly 10MH/s compared to the 1TH/s you've just announced.
So, It's just meh for the now. Hopefully, I can get an ASIC Miner soon.

Anyways, I've got some questions about the settings for cgminer.conf
This is how my settings are like now. *pokes around with settings*

Code:

{
"pools" : [
	{
		"url" : "http://127.0.0.1:32332",
		"user" : "myname",
		"pass" : "mypassword"
	}
]
,
"intensity" : "1",
"vectors" : "2",
"worksize" : "64",
"kernel" : "poclbm",
"lookup-gap" : "0",
"thread-concurrency" : "0",
"shaders" : "0",
"auto-fan" : true,

"temp-cutoff" : "85",
"temp-overheat" : "75",
"temp-target" : "65",

"queue" : "1",
"scan-time" : "60",
"temp-hysteresis" : "3",
"shares" : "0",
"kernel-path" : "/usr/local/bin"
}

I'm getting a temperature reading of about 85°C ~ 100°C.
It's not good for a laptop. I'm scared it might die suddenly.
How do I change it so that won't happen?

Thanks again for helping me out.

PS. Btw, I love the logo.

[cshelswell]

Could definitely do with pool soon

[betacoindev]

difficulty is now going down - 12.9K now, as it was described - soon it will be dropped and than will go up again - now it is a chance to mine!

[getwork]

Any news about pool? Don't want to try solo with my 6 BE this job is for ASICs.

[betacoindev]

Pools are in test phase - soon will be available. Some folks are doing them, i hope it will be ready in 24 hours.

[betacoindev]

the wallet i d/loaded has no block source available since nearly 2 weeks

That is because you did not connected to any node in network. What OS and client version you use (GUI or command line?)         

If you are in GUI client go to console (under Help menu) and type there:

Code:

addnode 76.74.177.244 onetry

Also you can try to launch your client with -connect=76.74.177.244 attribute:

Code:

./betacoind -connect=76.74.177.244 &

If you got connections, but still do not have blockchain you can try to reindex it with -reindex attribute on start:

Code:

./betacoind -reindex &

Since the first connection to the only one node your client will get other node addresses and download the full blockchain.

Hope it was helpful.

I think 85C i really hot for laptop, and i think you should stop with it or cool it somehow. Laptops and their GPU can produce so much heat and it can be harmful without over-cooling. I suggest you not to mine any coins with your laptop hardware, only maby to use it with usb ASICS, but not with GPU or CPU.

Any way this difficulty drop may be lucky for you to find some blocks even in solo with your 6 BE.

Difficulty is 1300 - chance to everyone!
