Antminer S1 SoloMining Setup/Easy Solo/Own Pool Setup!

[loszhor]

i did a complete deletion and installed it again. now i am facing a peculiar problem. the difficulty is at 29.999571 and the share difficulty is also the same. whether i point 50 gh/s  at the pool or 1th/s, the diffiuclty is remaining the same. as a result i am getting a lot of dead shares.

Show us your set up and we'll see what we can do.

I see you have block size at 1000000 and max connections at 20. I would recommend setting that at 10 and block size at 250000. The default block size is 500000 so it is currently double the normal amount. For me base settings is max connections at 10 and max block size at 250000 and that seems to be the normal amount for most coins and finding the right block size for fine tuning afterwards.

It's different for each set up so give this guide a seriously good reading for your circumstances:

When I run my batch file, I get a notepad that says "#!/usr/bin/env python

from p2pool import main

main.run()"     and I get a command box that says "run_p2pool.py --net "zetacoin" --give-author 0.0 --no-bugreport --disable-upnp"

and that's it.

Have you all dependencies installed yet?

[jcaldwell373]

Yes, I went down the list and installed all.

Post both network.py files so I can look them over. I'll try to troubleshoot from here as I can.

From the looks of it I take it you are trying to Solo BTC? First, make sure the are no typos in the files you modified as one extra comma or missing semi-colon can ruin everything. Next, double check the ports you set up in the both network.py files. Finally, go into Python and Twisted and check on if the setting are correct. But it looks as if you may have a typo in the networks.py.

[loszhor]

Yes, I went down the list and installed all.

Forgive me for the late reply I was super busy. It looks as if a dependency may have not installed correctly. Make sure to install python components with MingW if possible or something equivalent, if you are sure you did so then it may be some thing within the configuration itself. Post up both network.py files so I can look them over.

Hi all,

regarding to my fist post here, there was a typo in the bitcoin.conf (I´ve missed to change the persist-setting from True to False).  

In the meantime i´ve installed on a other server, and it seams to be working, but on the start i still get a few errors.

See attached log.

Hmm, which file do you mean? - I didn´t change any other files except those listed above (bitcoin.conf in the bitcoin data-path, bitcoin.py in p2pool\networks and the CALL.bat in the root of p2pool).

Did i miss something? - I only mine bitcoin.

There are two "network.py" files to be configured. More accurately one needs to be checked and the other configured.

The first is in < main P2pool folder >/p2pool/networks.py - This is the file you point your miner at and you currently have listed above.

The second is in < main P2pool folder >/p2pool/bitcoin/networks.py - This is the file P2pool uses to point itself at your wallet to connect. It is usually is set up correctly and good to go straight away but sometimes depending on how old/new the version of P2pool you are using it may have have to be updated. Mainly I'm referring to the ports listed and conf file name. For BTC:

See the "ports" section? Make sure both match your config file and the name of the conf file you are using matches the ones listed below at the end of "CONF_FILE_FUNC=lambda". If they don't you can either change what's listed here or change the files you have but either way they have to match or p2pool won't be able to work.

        P2P_PREFIX='f9beb4d9'.decode('hex'),

        )),
        SUBSIDY_FUNC=lambda height: 50*100000000 >> (height + 1)//210000,

        DUMB_SCRYPT_DIFF=1,
        DUST_THRESHOLD=0.001e8,
    ),

Also, make sure you have the port listed in your conf file and not just the rpc port.

Let me know if this helps.

[illyack]

So you got your Antminer S1 pointed it at a local wallet server and watched as every block it found was rejected?
You asked on the forum for help and nobody answered or better still suggested the above.
Follow these steps and you can mine Any Sha256 P2pool Compatible Coin (Still waiting for Peercoin) with an Antminer S1 or setup your own P2pool Pool for Scrypt Mining as long as it has a P2pool Compatible Config.

First Pick the coin you wish to mine:
Download and Unpack
https://github.com/Rav3nPL/p2pool-rav
Make sure the coin you wish to mine is listed in the Directory p2pool\networks\
EG.

Code:

bitcoin.py

     
Download and Install:
Windows:(Yes only Windows I havent tested Linux though it should be the same)
* Install Python 2.7: http://www.python.org/getit/
* Install Twisted: http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/Downloads
* Install Zope.Interface: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/zope.interface/3.8.0
* Install python win32 api: http://sourceforge.net/projects/pywin32/files/pywin32/Build%20218/
* Install python win32 api wmi wrapper: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/WMI/#downloads

Download and Install:
Wallet Client for whatever coin you want to mine.

Run and Sync the Wallet Client.
Close the client.
Enter the Directory of the Blockchain/Wallet Dir of the Coin (Windows %AppData% or %Users%Blank%Roaming%)
Create coinname.conf EG. bitcoin.conf
Input

Code:

rpcuser=Thinkofsomething
rpcpassword=Randomlystabatkeyboard
rpcallowip=192.*.*.* #Or whatever your network is only the p2pool has to connect
rpcport=17444 #Pick Something p2pool reads the conf for all settings
port=17334 #Pick Something p2pool reads the conf for all settings

Editing p2pool Configs
Goto where you unpacked https://github.com/Rav3nPL/p2pool-rav
Find the coin you wish to mine.
Edit p2pool\networks\coiname.py

Find

Code:

WORKER_PORT = 

The above numbers is the worker port to connect miners use with the Ip address of the computer running P2pool.
Find

Code:

 PERSIST=True 

Change to:

Code:

 PERSIST=False 

Find

Code:

 BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS='A bunch of other p2pool Nodes'.split(' '),

Change to:

Code:

BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS=''.split(' '),

Save and exit.

Create a Bat in the main p2pool Dir where run_p2pool.py or anywhere if edited properly with the following.

Code:

run_p2pool.py --net Coinyourmining --give-author 0.0 --no-bugreport --disable-upnp 

Save.

Now create a shortcut for the wallet client that adds "-server"

Run Your New Shortcut.
LET IT SYNC.
Run your p2pool Bat.
Point your miners at the worker port of your Solo p2pool Node with:
Ip of the Server running p2pool and Worker port.

Code:

Eg. 192.168.1.128:9374

Address of where you want funds to go MUST NOT BE an exchange address remember this is a p2pool and payment have to mature.
Password "x"

You are now SoloMining/Running your own pool and you can check status by pointing a web browser at the worker port of the p2pool server.
Problems, things I've missed whatever just ask.

Big thanks to seocrow of litecointalk.org for giving me the idea when My Ant S1 kept rejecting blocks found.
Rav3nPL for the multiple coins in individual files now under the networks Directory.
https://www.bitmaintech.com/ for making such a good bit of hardware.

Hi I am trying to setup my s1 to solo mine. I have been going through your walkthrough. However as I am installing the different softwares, each one is requiring different version of python. one wants 2.6, another wants 2.7 , another wants 3.3. Any suggestions?

If you believe all the requirements have been installed check to make sure they are all on the correct system paths.

Just curious, has anyone found a Bitcoin block using this method?

It is possible to solo, if that is what you mean, a BTC block with this method but the difficulty is too high now for one person. But to give you a direct answer to your question, I do not know anyone personally who has done so.

Hi all,
Can anyone please tell me where I can obtain a fastcoin wallet from?

[jcumins]

I just finished setting up and installing bitcoind, all synced up after almost 2 days, seems fine except when running with the -server option.  It errors unable to find the bitcoin.conf and the file is there.

My biggest issue is when calling the p2pool in the batch fine it can not see the bitcoin.conf file either.

I went looking for the networks.py files and there not there, i never removed them and now there gone.  I searched the entire drive for them and found a networks.lnk file but not the py files.

and the P2pool will not launch

Very frustrated, i sure could use some help.


Thanks

Well I am happy to report I am Solo mining with 99 to 100% Effecency.
