I cant seem to find what i am looking for so will ask.
Can some one point me to a guide that will allow me to solo mine from my bitcoin wallet, using my mining gear.
Thanks
Mark
Depending on how much hashing power you're planning to point to your local node, you might be better served throwing up a stratum proxy in front of it.
For example, if you have a couple USB sticks, you can point your mining software directly to your node and be done with it. If you've got a few TH/s across multiple miners, you should consider using the proxy.
Anyway, as a general guide to making sure your node can accommodate mining, make sure you add server=1 in your bitcoin.conf file, and allow the IP address range of your miners. Example (taken from my own, with passwords and wallet addresses changed):
server=1
rpcuser=jonnybravo0311
rpcpassword=MYRPCPASSWORD
rpcallowip=10.0.1.*
Now when you start your mining software, you point it to the node like this:
./cgminer -o http://10.0.1.14:8332 -u jonnybravo0311 -p MYRPCPASSWORD --btc-address SOMEWALLETADDRESS
If all has gone according to plan, when you start your miner, you'll see something like this:
