Hey guys, So, i'm running 4Th (20pcs) Antminer S1's. I just like to try for 30 days to solo mine with them ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) How do i make the setup? I've read that you need to point your miners to 127.0.0.1, but does a standalone miner have this? Can somebody explain me what's the best way to solo mine using a standalone (20x) device? Thank you

Thank you First, a bit of a warning, no one solo mines anymore unless you have a giant pool because the amount of hashing power needed to mine a block right now. Not taking "luck" into consideration, 4Th will take you over 45 days to get a block. Here's a decent solo mining setup guide: http://maunderingcabal.blogspot.com/2013/02/bitcoin-mining-log-9-how-to-solo-mine.htmlYou basically point your asic miners to your system running bitcoin-qt

Thank you, just what i needed.
Do not miss the 'luck' factor. On my miner statistics, i have 2 found blocks already. So why not try to run solo, even if it takes 45 days, no pool in the world gives me 25btc in 45 days

It takes 45 days on average. If you're out of luck, it can take forever

Well, on the other hand, i'm getting about 0.4/day now. If i just keep mining during another 65 days, i'll have my 25btc ![Grin](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/grin.gif) With difficulty included, let's say 100 days or so

.. and the loss of the btc that .4 while u are off solo mining. also don't forget to add a node to the config to keep your miner up2date on the rest of the network , so you don't wind up mining old data.

Do you have your miners in a datacenter or are you just running them out of your home? Curious because I just ordered 6 and possible may want more later.

2 blocks in how long? Since the time to find a block is an average, for everyone you find under that average you're equally as likely to go over than average.

everyone here just wants you mining on their pools! there is absolutely no help for any real solo mining!
I have 10 antminer U1's and am trying to get them to Solo mine using a stratum proxy to my bitcoind so I can see their progress - if you got yours set up please PM me and let me know how!

Why do you need a stratum proxy? Just point them to your local PC running bitcoin!

main reason is so you can see that they are working ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif) ... but also for higher speed devices like BE Cube from what i have seen bitcoind is too slow so you loose 1/2 the blocks without a proxy in place ?

I have some block erupter cubes that I am solo mining PPC with just for the heck of it. You just need to start the wallet in server mode and then run your mining software in proxy mode. My cubes seem to work pretty well but the couple of times I tried running any of my antminers I get a lot of errors. My understanding is that the client/PC are too slow but I could be mistaken. I didn't bother with it too much on the S1's because I don't have enough of them to really solo mine and can't afford to lose the revenue they are generating pooled.
Best of luck!

In my experience, while my miners report mining at their usual 180 ghs, there is something not connecting even with ports opened and valves on full steam, my butterflies actually solo mine quite well, and a usb cube would be similar, but I don't think for the antminers my computer is capable of providing the getwork info it needs in a timely fashion, which is I believe why they added stratum with mining pools.
So in short, if you want to solo mine, you'll need to setup a pool with stratum with your computer or on a cloud (don't ask me how to do either, as I've succumb to just paying the damned 2%).

I have been looking into this but it seems like you need to modify it in order to not connect you to the p2pool network.. https://github.com/Rav3nPL/p2pool-rav/blob/master/README.mdI seen one mod of the python script out there but I have not got a chance to fully play with it… I did set this up and it works we on OSX even thought it shows no support for OSX.. I also did a direct connect to bitcoind however the reject rate is SO high I just can't make that recommendation .. If you find anything, please keep this thread updated..

We have tried solo mining SHA-256 altcoins and we can't seem to make it work. The wallet shows connection and hashrate but no work gets done.

P2pool has nothing to do with solo mining. You don't need to modify any python script from rav3ns code to get it to run on OSX either. If you want to solo mine and your bitcoind can't feed your miners quickly enough put a stratum proxy in between and point your miners to it.
