I have tried solo mining with the defcoind software, but I'm not getting anywhere. Miners seem to want getwork(), but defcoin doesn't support getwork. I've also had errors about getblocktemplate and/or coinbase not available/invalid.
Here is the latest I get with my cgminer output to try and test with (not solo mining yet, just trying to get it to work)

Thank you if you can point me in the right direction...
