Solo mining starcoin with GUIMiner scrypt.

[mattboldfield]

Hi, can anyone help me set up a solo miner for starcoin using GUIMiner scrypt and its reaper.
I followed basic instructions here http://bitcoinflow.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/grain-gra-solo-mining-tutorial-for.html
But changed the starcoin.conf file to these settings here: http://www.starcoin.info/help.php

Made up my own name password
And put those settings in the roaming starcoin folder named starcoin.conf
I then started starcoin wallet that closed shortly to update settings.
Restarted starcoin wallet and waited for it to sync.

Started GUIMiner scrypt, new miner, new reaper miner. Details filled were: 18217 for the port, local host and my name and password from the starcoin.conf file. 
Choses the right device and GPU settings that work in other pools.

Started GUIMiner scrypt reaper miner and stale/invalid shares started flying up. About 1 minute later finally got K/hs but it was like 7-13 max. Should be 750 K/hs
Restarted PC - same thing!

I then chose Solo utilities, set bitcoin client path and chose starcoin-qt.exe
Then I set bitcoin data directory and chose the Roaming Starcoin folder.
Then create solo password and used my previous starcoin.conf settings.

Guiminer then made a folder called reaper.Star. I copied my earlier starcoin.conf to here and its still hashing the same with mega stale invalid.

What am I doing wrong???

And you are mining with what hardware?

[mattboldfield]

hi,
2x7970, 1x7950
thanks

First thing ditch the guiminer and use cgminer 3.7.2 or lower

[mattboldfield]

Hi again,

The reason I wanted to go with GUIMiner scrypt is because I have had so much trouble config cgminer. I never got it to work with my gpus, but did get BFGMiner to work with usb's.
Anyway I have cgminer 3.7.2 ready when you are.

[vpasic]

cgminer --scrypt -o ip.of.your.pc.with.wallet:18217 -u username.from.conf -p pass.from.conf

let me know the result.

also can you post config file just to check on it.

[mattboldfield]

I don't have a config file, can you recommend one? thx

[mattboldfield]

So I have to set a static I gather? Just checking and yes I know how to do that. bat file created.

[mattboldfield]

So password must be "something dot something" always in any of these miners scripts?

[mattboldfield]

sorry I meant miners name not password!

[vpasic]

no, forget about dot's. you can write what ever you want as username, any word.

I wan't to see starcoin.conf file

it should be like this:


rpcuser=Yourusername
rpcpassword=Yourpassword
rpcallowip=127.0.0.*
rpcport=18217
listen=1
daemon=1
server=1


so if you are mining at same pc that you have wallet installed command will be like
cgminer --scrypt -o http://127.0.0.1:18217 -u username.from.conf -p pass.from.conf

[mattboldfield]

Ok my star coin config file looked like this from the link above

listen=1
daemon=1
server=1
rpcuser=**Yourusername**
rpcpassword=**Yourpassword**
rpcallowip=10.1.1.*
rpcport=18217

so I gather Im changing it to your version?
Ok I will do that now, and this is going in the starcoin roaming folder yes?

[mattboldfield]

So the funky little star at the end of local host has to be their? rpcallowip=127.0.0.*
Im thinking not? can I just write localhost? what is meant to be in place of the *??

[vpasic]

change it and save it to starcoin %appdata% Roaming/Starcoin folder

[vpasic]

you can leave the star ore just type 1.
like 127.0.0.1

[mattboldfield]

ok all done, now the bit that screws me everytime the config.

Ok heres what I have from GUIMiner Script to help you put it together.

2x7970 1x7950
Device 0-0, 0-1, 0-2
TC - 8192
Worksize - 256
Vectors - 1
Intensity - 13
Gpu threads - 2

[mattboldfield]

have shut down starcoin wallet and restarted it also.
