This is a guide to set up solo mining for cgminer and windows 7.
Replace Litecoin with the name of the altcoin you are solo mining.
This guide assumes you have the wallet of the altcoin you are solo mining, and it is fully synced.
Solo mining with GPU on same machine as Wallet1.Go to start, type %appdata%\Litecoin and press the enter key. You will then be in a folder with the Litecoin app-data. You will need to create a new text document called Litecoin. Open that document, and enter this data.
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=3333
server=1
listen=1
daemon=1
Save this, and then rename the file to Litecoin.conf. It should then be a CONF file.
2. Start up LiteCoin-qt
3. Go to your cgminer, and change the .bat file to have the pool be
http://127.0.0.1, the username to be user, and the password to be password.
sample:
cgminer.exe -o
http://127.0.0.1:3333 --scrypt -u user -p password
The port is the rpcport in you conf file, the username is your rpcuser, and the password is your rpcpassword.
Start up your cgminer, and you should be solo mining!
Solo mining with GPU on different machine as Wallet
1.
Go to start, type %appdata%\Litecoin and press the enter key. You will then be in a folder with the Litecoin app-data. You will need to create a new text document called Litecoin. Open that document, and enter this data.
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=password
rpcconnect=(Internal ip of your wallet machine, 192.168.1.*)
rpcallowip=(Internal ip of your mining machine, 192.168.1.*)
rpcport=3333
server=1
listen=1
daemon=1
Save this, and then rename the file to Litecoin.conf. It should then be a CONF file.
