There are a few altcoins (especially those that use the Scrypt algorithm) that have value on exchanges. Some of these have no mining pools. I would like to solo mine them. But when I download the wallet and point my miner at it, it doesn't work. I downloaded a mining proxy, but it seems to solve the opposite problem - it allows getwork miners to connect to a stratum server. I need a way for my stratum miner to connect to a getwork wallet. Is there a way to do this? For a concrete example, can someone give me step-by-step instructions for solo mining Einsteinium with an Antminer L3+, without going through a 3rd party pool?
What miner are you using for mining scrypt algorithm? And why solo mine? Scrypt miners varies meaning they are better than each other, you will have to do research on this and try it out yourself, I don't mine scrypt algorithm because of this headache, don't try using CPU and GPU, it's a complete waste of time, the best scrypt miners are asic miners
I am using an Antminer L3++, which is an ASIC. I currently am mining on a auto-switching multipool, but it barely covers the cost of my electricity. There are some coins, though, that I cannot find working pools for. Some of those coins have low difficulty, and are listed on exchanges. I would like to mine them whenever they are profitable, if possible. The problem is that my miner will only connect via stratum, and the wallets for these coins will only accept getwork miners. I could set up a virtual machine with an old version of mpos, I guess. But that seems like overkill. All I need is a way for my stratum miner to connect to a getwork wallet.
