Hi everyone,
(I know about mining solo and the chances to find a block, but I would like to try it on some different currencies for fun)
I have been trying to search on the forum here how to configure the Antminer S5 to basically mine on my own network solo. I have the Antminer S5 in the basement connected to the router directly and upstairs I would like to setup a local server so I can solo mine some Peercoins or Altcoins using the SHA algorithm. I tried setting up the ".conf" file using the RPC username/password, port etc. etc.
- I can ping fine the computer upstairs from the Antminer (the port is open I checked)
Every time I enter in the URL (my upstairs computer IP (192.168.1.171)) in the Antminer and the username/password/port and it just will not mine, it says the connection is dead. Anyone have some pointers? Is this even possible to mine on the network to the upstairs computer, or the only way to do it is to hook up the Antminer locally to the Computer upstairs?
------------------------------- Rudimentary diagram ----------------------------------------
[ Computer "A" ] [ this is a server ] _____________[ router ]_______________ [ Antminer S5 ] [ to mine solo ]
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you in advance!

What other currencies you mean here? Antminer is sha256 miner not scrypt miner. You can not use it to mine scrypt altcoin.

Sorry I was thinking Peercoins/Digitalcoin/Mazacoin/Battle coin which are SHA-256.

Did you set the rpcallowip in your config file?
either
rpcallowip=192.168.1.171
or
rpcallowip=192.168.1.*
also is server=1 set?
Maybe post your config file here with username/password taken out...

it has been my experience that it is nearly impossible to get the newer antminers to solo mine since the new miners use stratum by default. the only way i found of mining solo was to set up a p2pool server on my network and mine to it but be prepared for a lot of orphaned blocks, high stale rate the other option is to mine here http://solo.ckpool.org/ good luck

Can you explain how to use CGminer from local desktop if antminer already have CGminer looaded by factory??? MY CGminer showing error ."CAN'T find USB connected device " .Well...how ANTMINER 5S can be USB connected if have only one port for ethernet???

You can SSH into it: ssh root@<AntMiner's_LAN_ip_address> The password is "admin".

Not to Necro a dead thread but I had this question for a long time and it took me a long time to find the answer as google turns up alot of people asking this same question but most of the threads lead to a dead end / Unanswered.
So basically from my understanding your computer will cannot feed your miner fast enough. You need to mine from a pool which breaks the work up into smaller shares which can then be fed to your miner at a much faster rate. If you want to SOLO mine with your antminer you will need to setup a local mining pool. Personally I use a p2pool for solo mining with my antminers.
Im currently working on a video tutorial to share and will follow up by posting the walkthrough within the next few days
