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

[jcumins]

I know that there are people that are solo mining but it takes allot of horse power.  at 9Th of hashing power the software shows 218 days to find a block.  So i am still playing with it but the pools pays the bills.

Dear
I've setup a new pool and i think it's my private pool but how come the pool have high local speed and 6 peers? So does my pool connect to other p2pool? If yes then how to create a private pool?

    It depends what you are mining and when. For example, if a previously delisted coin is about to return to an exchange and the difficulty is easy with no pools up then you can solo mine some profits. Another example is if the currency is still being traded on a lesser known exchange or is trading between currencies such as DOGE then you can mine it with the intent of trading it for profit instead of directly dumping it.

    As usual, the easy buck is still elusive as ever. But having this as an option is good even if to learn the ins and outs of you miner.

    Personally, my best pool results come from ones that allow payments in other currencies such as FOOD or DIEM. I am mainly speaking from someone who trades for BTC income and not from the mining directly.
If you are curious their information can be found at: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=733216.0 and http://thepool.pw

    What is your mining strategy?

    If I understand your question correctly you would need to remove the all the other addresses from the bootstrap addresses section of the "networks.py" file of the coin you are trying to mine. So it would look like this: BOOTSTRAP_ADDRS=''.split(' '), otherwise it will try to connect to those addresses as well.

    Let me know if that helped.

Why do you have to go through all this when Antminers use cgminer, and cgminer certainly supports GBT, which is used for solo-mining?

Hi, first time trying to setup a python p2p pool. I am trying to set up my own P2Ppool to use my Antminer S5 to mine Freicoin. I keep getting error:

Any ideas why I am getting the errors? I followed the guide at the beginning of the thread.

Thanks!

hello obe any can help me..i have bitmain antminer s4 and power supply IC has burn...any one can tell IC number

Hi guys,

I have this setup all looks good apart from the current payout is always 0 BTC any ideas? Is this normal? Are there any better ways to mine solo now?

Yes, buy a thousand S5s and operate a mining farm from your personal warehouse.
