Hey guys,
I am trying to solo mine hirocoin with no luck. I am pretty n00bish when it comes to solo mining so I could really use some help.
Here is my hirocoin.conf file
rpcuser=u
rpcpassword=p
server=1
rpcallowip=localhost
rpcport=9332
daemon=1
server=1
gen=0
I keep seeing people using "addnode=x.x.x.x"
Where do I find these nodes?
Also, when I attempt to mine using cpuminer I get the error "HTTP request failed: the requested URL returned error: 403 Forbidden
json_rpc_call failed, retry after 30 seconds
Hi , i use only this in my hirocoin.conf in my user appdata directory ... i think you use wrong rcp port ... ( obv with sgh-miner with dark coin algo active ... ) .... please try attenction to the sgh-miner configuration ...
server=1
rpcuser=S*****
rpcpassword=1234
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9347
bye
Hi, this is correct - Hirocoin uses port 9347 for RPC calls. You will be getting that error as port 9332 will not be open on your computer, or if it is then bitcoind is refusing your connection (this is bitcoind's RPC port).
Also make sure your rpcuser and rpcpassword are set correctly as they are in your hirocoin.conf.
However if I may make a suggestion: if you're a complete newbie to solo mining it's quite likely you don't have enough hashing power to mine quickly solo (you need about 10Mh to get a few blocks a day). May I suggest using a pool to mine. Then you can see your Hirocoins fly in. I would suggest
www.hiropool.org, but it's not quite newbie friendly yet - you can't see any of your users or payouts. P2Pool is pretty good if you're going to be mining 24/7 (if you're solo mining you also need to be)...
Check out
the node scanner for a list of worldwide nodes. Just choose the one closest to you geographically, and connect your sgminer using one of your Hirocoin addresses as the username, and x as the password. You can actually put anything you like as the password as P2Pool ignores it.
Your payments will ramp up to their maximum amount over the space of 24 hours, but should start as soon as P2Pool finds a block!
