Hi all,
I have been lurking for a while here as I have grown my rig from GPU to ASIC and now to a couple of Antminer S1s - next step will be 2TB's and beyond
and thanks to everyone here for all the help in getting there to date.
I am re-purposing all my U1's for solo mining, since their return against my new rigs is now negligible and i find watching the mining hardware keeps me company whill I am geeking out here writing code.
I am trying to find out what the best setup for BFGminer (or CGminer for that matter) for solo mining using a hardware rig (for me thats currently 10 Antminer U1's giving me around 20GH of solo mining speed).
Assuming I have the latest version of bitcoin-qt running, and the latest version of BFGminer, from what I understand :
1. I need to have long-polling enabled to make sure I am not working on dead shares ? and to do this I need a failover pool ?
2. I need to optimize my settings for scan time, queue, expiry and turn no submit stale on
Is there anything else I REALLY need to be doing ? I can only assume that the large pool operators have tweaked the hell out of their setups for solo mining - care to share ?
Here is my BFGminer setup :
./bfgminer \
-o localhost:8332 -u bitcoinduser -p bitcoindpass \
-o
http://stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u user_worker -p pass \
--failover-only \
--api-listen \
--scan-time 1 --queue 4 --no-submit-stale \
-S Antminer:all --set-device antminer:clock=x0881 \
--coinbase-addr mywalletaddress --coinbase-sig "This is VMFX's block"
Any help much appreciated!
