Just FYI - I'm playing and having fun, and not being all uber serious about profit, so...
To solo CPU mine with cpuminer, is this right?
1) Set up the conf file, e.g.:
listen=1
daemon=1
server=1
rpcuser=someusername
rpcpassword=somepassword123
rpcport=12345
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
Does the rpcport matter? (I'm connecting... but no "yay!!" messages...)
Then run the client, e.g.:
somecoin-qt.exe -server
Then, for the miner command, something like:
minerd.exe --url=http://127.0.0.1:12345 -u someusername -p somepassword123
Is that right?
I don't get any "yay!!" messages, and using stratum+tcp doesn't work at all as far as I can see.
I get a lot more hashing power from minerd.exe than from coin-qt.exe, so I'd obviously rather use minerd, even if it is just for fun.
Thanks in advance for any help there.
Got another question though... How can I use stratum with the client and minerd? Nothing I've tried works. I'm sure there's a simple answer - I just don't know it.
