Found 1 block solo-mining @ 650 k/hash, found 1 block for ultra.nitro.
Pissed, shoulda kept solo mining haha

same msg to me also.

buy utc 10k=1btc
send btc first
thx   Grin

Well, wish I could figure out what is wrong with my solo mining.  I joined the nitro pool and found my first block pretty fast. Running about 1000 kh/s didn't find one all day.... Saw the blocks being found, the changing difficulty etc all in cgminer just never found a block with my setup parameters so I am guessing I was doing something wrong.

Also I normally would have about 1800 kh/s but assume using the ultracoin miner that is going to be lower no matter what settings I have for the cards themselves.

When I was attempting to solo mine my bat files would be similar to this ( changed them many times )

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
del *.bin
ultracoinminer.exe --scrypt-jane -o 127.0.0.1:44101 -u xxxxxxx -p xxxxxxxx --sj-nfmin 4 --sj-nfmax 30 --sj-time 1388361600 --intensity 15 --gpu-powertune 20 --worksize 256 --expiry 1 --queue 0 --scan-time 1

And my Ultracoin.conf file ( that I put in the Ultracoin folder in the appdata area ) was this

rpcuser=xxxxxxx
rpcpassword=xxxxxxxx
rpcport=44101
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
daemon=1
server=1
listen=1

I was starting the Ultracoin wallet .... then would go to the debug and do that command setgenerate true, then starting my bat file.

( I just xxxxxxx'd out the info but yes the user/pass was correct )

I am so new to solo mining so am sure I could tweak it a lot... the above bat was for a 7990 card single...  Wasn't too worried about getting it as  efficient as possible as I was to just getting it to work and accept one block to know I had it setup right.   So hard to tell if you are actually mining in cgminer... was getting best share etc.. so figured it was working on some level...

If anyone can point out where I went wrong would be appreciated.  ( Would love to know for going forward on other solo mining coins as well,  I did find like 5 swag blocks after changing my conf files, bat files etc.. so at one point I almost knew what I was doing on swag coin the other day. )

Thanks in advance...

edit *** we didn't need to start the qt wallet with the -server command like other coins did we? ****

  @ ultra.nitro.org we deliver your shares quickly, no holdup. Other pool owners would like to make you believe it's just luck. I don't see how trying other pools would help with your solo settings. But all is well Glad you are finding blocks on our pool.

the port doesn't have to be specified in the .conf, if that port # is wrong, that might be a problem,  i don't know what the correct port is as i didn't include that in my .conf

the setgenerate true is for wallet mining, it isn't need for gpu mining, i have no idea if that could cause a problem, but i didn't wallet mine while mine was working

the QT wallet has to be open/running to solo mine, but you don't have to start it a special way

if you have a strict firewall, did you check its log? if you are doing the gpu miner on the same computer as the wallet this isn't likely to be a problem, but just throwing it out there just in case

good luck

I'm getting about 40% of the speeds that I normally get with scrypt... What am I doing wrong?

Nothing. This is scrypt-jane supposed to be ASIC resistant. Everyone should expect 50-60% of usual scrypt hashrate. (your 40% seems a bit low though, tweak intensity/oc and TC)

[j23a]

I was really excited for this, because it was going to be the first coin that I mined from right at the beginning. Finally after 12 hours or so this pool works for me https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=444707

[PotatoMcGruff]

Does anyone know if ybcminer has better speeds?

Ohh about the port, if I take out that line in the .conf file, and I take it off the url :port spot in the bat file, I get the error pool 0 slow/down or invalid url.  It is the reason I put it back in ( with it ) my cgminer at least would look like it was mining without that startup error.

Same computer for the gpu miner/wallet so I don't think it is a firewall problem.

Ohh about the port, if I take out that line in the .conf file, and I take it off the url :port spot in the bat file for ultracoinminer, I get the error pool 0 slow/down or url or credentials invalid. 

Maybe it was just bad luck like someone suggested earlier.  ( again so hard to tell with the cgminer cmd window info )  I was getting best share values.. so thought that was a sign I was mining..

Anyways, again thanks for the help... I know a lot of people google search these questions and maybe this will help others.

Is it possible that the --sj-time 1388361600 is wrong and that's why our speeds are so slow?

[daemonfox]

As far as I know... it doesn't matter WTF port you use in your conf and bat files... as long as they match in both, you can solo mine.

Did this for a few coins that forgot (conveniently) to list the default port in the OP and was still able to get solo coins.

I solo'd Cashcoin for a while getting block using port 11111 until I got the default port and changed it. Same with Chaincoin.

As long as the conf rpcport= and the :port in the batch file for the miner match... it works.

Nope, I cheked the source. But this coin is instamined and premined like a *****.

K thanks, one unknown for me down. 

But yep only way I could get it to work was have the port commands and have them match like you said ( good to know it wasn't because I had some incorrect port and all would work basically if the same ) ... so that is one thing I kept in all my changes of my miner.bat file.

 I have 4x asus 280x video cards, anyone have the same video cards that can help me out and share their settings?
It just won't load correctly with my regular scrypt settings. And yes I already converted to scrypt-jane but won't load cgminer correctly. I'm using Devs miner.

Thanks in advance

Give these a try:

ultracoinminer -o ultra.leetpools.com:3333 -u user.1 -p x --scrypt-jane --sj-nfmin 4 --sj-nfmax 30 --sj-time 1388361600 --thread-concurrency 8192 -g 2 -I 13 -w 256 --temp-cutoff 90 --temp-overheat 85 --gpu-powertune 20 --gpu-threads 2 --expiry 1 --queue 0 --no-submit-stale

the port is required for the miner parameter, it must be url:port for the miner, it doesn't have a default so without it, it can't work
you will get best share value, why didn't you think you were mining? maybe you were. you won't get any A:  or R: unless you actually get a block, so for solo mining it would be normal to see your best go up occasionally, but you will only get A: , and it would be a very large value, like hundreds thousands or millions, but only when you find a block

if you had hash rate and no error messages and your best value went up occasionally , you were solo mining

have a nice day
