well this is weird, i managed to get it running of sorts. Now it's just saying
[2014-12-12 21:42:24] 1 miner threads started, using 'm7mhash' algorithm.
[2014-12-12 21:42:24] No payout address provided, switching to getwork
Am i missing a step somewhere during the set up of the config file?
I suggest to post what you have done (minerd, conf file, full command, etc) so that others can trouble shoot for you.
Sorry, this is my conf file atm
addnode=66.55.90.58
addnode=107.107.52.31
addnode=162.243.219.192
daemon=1
server=1
rpcport=8232
rpcuser=test
rpcpassword=x
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
for minerd i'm running it using minerd --url
http://127.0.0.1:8232/ --user test --pass x --threads 4
I'm using the mining set created by spexx
edit: oops, it's now showing that it is hashing but should i be concern that it says this "[2014-12-13 07:36:25] No payout address provided, switching to getwork" ?
First off, the message about "No payout address provided, switching to getwork" is normal and nothing to be worried about. The wallet accepts the getwork protocol in much the same way as if it were a mining pool.
You can get rid of that message by specifying --coinbase-addr=[your XMG address] as an advanced minerd.exe switch if you want, but there is really no need to.
When solo mining with the wallet, there is no hashmeter output until it mines a block, when the wallet talks back to the miner to confirm an acceptance of a block solution. It is very much like watching paint dry.
I found in practice that if hashmeter output was enabled, the miner would appear to be working but was making no real external connection - as if it was in benchmark mode. This behavior was the same when connecting to mining pools as well. For this reason, the autominer.bat / failover.bat software adds the --quiet switch to the minerd.exe command line by default.
Hope this helps
