Folks-
I am very new to this, though I am well read through these forums.
I have guiminer/bitcoin
I am attempting some solo mining, have set passwords, and flags but I am not sure whether or not it is working properly
my GUIMINER under console simply says "listener for Miner 1 Started"
I see my M/hash rate on the bottom of the GUIMINER, along with difficulty 1, and block 3363.
I assume all is working properly I just wanted to verify as to not waste my time.
is there any verification show within the bitcoin program itself?
*on a side note (and not plugging for faster help) these forums are extremely informative, and besides this hiccup, I have found every single answer.
Thanks all, any help would be appreciated.

According to NIST and ECRYPT II, the cryptographic algorithms used in
Bitcoin are expected to be strong until at least 2030. (After that, it
will not be too difficult to transition to different algorithms.)

If it say's it's only on difficulty 1, somethings not right. Try running bitcoin.exe in server mode, then pointing a miner from guiminer to 127.0.0.1 with the rpc user/pass.

Running command: poclbm.exe --user=J****** --pass=** -o 127.0.0.1 -p 8332 -d0 --verbose -server Listener for "miner1" started
followed your instructions still to no avail.
I am currently having guiminer set my conf file for me, does the server info appear correct?

set rpcuser and rpcpassword in bitcoin.conf "bitcoin.exe -server" "poclbm.exe --user=<rpcuser> --pass=<rpcpassword> -o 127.0.0.1 -d0"

Your node needs to process the entire block chain before you can generate. It'll take a while. The current block number is north of 126,000.

I made the same mistake, let the client download the whole block chain first. It takes a while and is annoying but necessary

"Hashes Dificulty 1" showing in GUMiner, when it set to solo mining, is just a measure that show you, that GPU load did not go in vain.

Solo mining is probably not worth your time, BTW

Hey,
let's say I'm at the university from 10 am to 4 pm and during this time I can power my laptop with an Nvidia Quadro NVS 135M on the university's bill. When I start mining in the morning I'd always have to download all the blocks (whatever that is) and wait till then? That's really annoying...
Is there a way to 'save' the downloaded blocks?
Regards, guy

The client caches the block chain. You'd only need to download the new ones.

You can download block chain database offline & then copy it to the folder where wallet.dat is stored. Usually C:\Users\YOUR USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Bitcoin http://bitcoin.bluematt.me/bitcoin-nightly/blockchain-nightly/download latest xxxx tar.gz. Extract the file blk0001.dat & blkindex.dat to the above folder replacing old ones. You can run bitcoin.exe -rescan, so that it rescan everything instead of downloading. you have your block chain saved.

is there any confirmation on the Bitcoin client itself that solo mining is set up properly? I currently see in GUIminer Difficulty 1, Hashes 4.............................120MH/s Just turning it on a few minutes ago. Thanks
