I there anyway to add solo ming support back into the miner...

I get the following error when trying to solo mine small alt coins:

Empty data received in JSON-RPC call
get_work failed, retry after 30 seconds

unknown option -- coinbase-addr=

SET UP YOUR OWN POOL--

It is not too hard.  I just set up an old NOMP-style pool on LOCALHOST.   The code is deprecated, so opening it to the public may be risky.  I bought a Moonlander 2 scrypt ASIC, and am mining with it as if it were an electronic lottery ticket.  The Moonlander is like a thumb-drive sized ASIC, but faster than my 6x 750ti rig running CUDAminer back in the day (2014).  It is running at about 4MH/s scrypt algorithm, and less than 10W. 

There are several how-to pages for NOMP-style pools on the web.  A couple for YIIMP-style pools, too.  Many of them have typos and poor English.  I think I will put my own "How-To" together and post it.  I have some rig maintenance to take care of, though.  As soon as I get a round 2it...       --scryptr

@scryptr

If you put your own "How-To" together and post it.. plz let me know. I want to do the same. Mining BTC with that thumbdrive. 

IT JUST MOVED UP ON MY PRIORITY LIST--

But I am mining scrypt algo.  BitCoin (sha256) may even be easier, and not require a pool.  Let me get things sorted out.  I was really surprised that the old pool set up and worked with so little fuss.  Right now, I am trying to merge-mine with it.

Hey, there are scrypt pools that merge mine and pay more than 100% LTC because they merge-mine so many alt-coins using scrypt algo.  NO FEE AT ALL!  The alts pay for the pool and profits to the owners/operators.  The miners get some, too, but just as LTC.

GekkoScience has the BTC thumbdrive miner.  There are clones from China, too.  Chat at ya later...       --scryptr

When will you add the recent most popular new algo X22i to ccminer?

Hi there,

I've been through literally 100's of how to guides, but like you say they are nearly all outdated or full of errors. (Got vertcoin working...lol)
I'm trying to set up an argon2 pool locally (so I can fire 6 PC's at 1 wallet) Is there any chance you can help please?

Has to be under win 7 or 10 thou....and using cpuminer-opt
Thanks
J

CHECK OUT BEASTPOOL--

BEASTPOOL has 4 CPU mining coins.  It runs on YIIMP.  Argon2d-dyn (Dynamic coin) is one of the coins.

YIIMP runs on Linux.  I don't know of any pool that runs on Windows, but I have not looked too hard.  You may be able to mine against the Dynamic coin wallet without a pool, but I have not tried.  I earned thousands of Vertcoin solo-mining against the wallet alone, but that was a couple years ago.

My suggestion is to set up a pool on a Raspberry Pi, they are cheap.  Then mine with your Windows boxes. 

Thanks for asking.  I may set up YIIMP on a Rpi myself, if I do I'll chat at ya later.       --scryptr

You mean like this list below scryptr?

Will buy as soon as possible.

@TBEARHERE - YES! --

But we are straying from the topic.  And, on Ebay, you can get a GekkoScience 2PAC direct from the manufacturer for $29.99.  The guy has been stripping 1384 chips from obsolete BitMain Antminers and making the sticks for years.  He has several threads on BitCoinTalk, and is about to release a new thumbdrive miner with 1387 chips.  He has good ratings, as does jstefanop, who does the same thing with LiteCoin thumbdrive sticks.

Read his threads before you buy.  I think he is closing out the "2Pac" model with 1384 chips.       --scryptr

My gtx1080 rig has an error when mining Raven coin by ccminer-2.3-cuda9: an illegal instruction was encountered
Please help me. Thanks!

Thx scryptr.  Yes I'm on his thread now. And yes...enough off topic. Thx again.

Hi,

I'm trying to mine defcoins.  I have Tesla V100 GPUs and CUDA 10.0.  Running Ubuntu 18.04LTS.

I'm stumped.  Everything else seems to work, but not ccminer.  I must be missing something obvious... any tips?  Thank you.

Hi guys

A new NVIDIA calculator was completed.
Look at what it is worth to mining

monero forked to a new pow algorithm which is not supported by this ccminer.

The market crashed and all the ccminer devs are making fee-miners or private miners...

Good morning,

My name is Jeremy and I am one of three co-founders of Vidulum. We are testing a different variant of the Equihash parameters for our project. Would you be possibly be willing to add it to your mining software? We have successfully been able to get the params to work with our daemon/CPU mining on testnet, but we were unable to compile a GPU miner. Any input at all would be very much appreciated!

Feel free to contact me here, or;
jeremy@vidulum.org

Sincerely,
Jeremy Dixon

Official Ccminer v2.3.1 by Tpruvot


https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases/download/2.3.1-tpruvot/ccminer-2.3.1-cuda10.7z


Jan. 30th 2019 v2.3.1

Handle Lyra2v3 algo
Handle sha256q algo
Handle exosis algo
Handle blake2b standard algo
Built with CUDA 10 for SM3+ devices, SM 7.5 arch was integrated, but seems to only waste disk space.

Note: CUDA 10 requires a nvidia driver 410.48 or more recent.


  Thanks for all @Epsylon3

YIIMP.EU IS DOWN--

I have tried for several hours to connect.  Has the pool been retired?       --scryptr

[Epsylon3]

My fiber network (+4G phones too) is down since 6h in the local area (at least 30km around). Never happened so long and still waiting explanations...

Maybe some meteo issue, we had lot of snow today, and storms and lot of snow/rain the last days... but nothing sure
