Solo mining

DeadZebra

Hey guys

Where would I point my rig to for solo mining? I’m not sure where I find the IP/Username/Password of my client. :-\

You have to run the feathercoind and in that give it a config file that has the rpcuser, password and port in it. Those you can then use to point your mining software to :)

How would one go about this using GUIMiner?

-windows:(i don’t do linux)
–install and run feathercoin client
–close client
–locate feathercoin directory using >start>run>%appdata%
–create feathercoin configuration file in notepad as follows: (change the user/ password values to whatever you want them to be:)
rpcuser=
rpcpassword=
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=9772
daemon=1
server=1
gen=0

–save this file as: feathercoin.conf (be sure to save it in the appdata feathercoin directory)
–relaunch feathercoin client and let it finish synchronizing with the network
–point mining client of your choosing to http://127.0.0.1:9772 with the user / password you assigned

mine away. although i recommend joining a pool at this difficulty level
try: http://www.fcpool.com/ 0% fee - PPLNS 8)

So is there an ideal hash rate for solo mining?

Tuck Fheman

For kicks, I started cpu solo mining while gpu pool mining. I’m getting about 30-35 KH/s on i7 860 … roughly 5 KH/s per thread @ 7 threads. 4 threads also worked well for me.

How long would it take to find a block solo mining at 15k/s and what’s the reward per block?

http://calc.feathercoin.com/ Enter your hashrate and other values in here and you can find an “average time to find block” output

Everybody was So-Lo mining
Hash rates were fast as lightning
ASIC made it a little bit frightning
But they fought with po-ol mining

I am going to have to send you mind cancer now, as you know very well that this tune will be stuck in my head all day and the words… the words will never be the same.

Oo

Is it worth solo mining when the difficulty goes down?

It depends on what your hashrate is, if it is lower 10Mhash don’t bother, join a pool, unless your feeling lucky,
some days (when I feel lucky) I solo mine with my 2.7Mhash rig but I have had no luck yet, my luck seems better on a pool.

Next difficulty is in the low 90’s.

That rpcport didnt work but I changed the port to the following an it was fine.
rpcport=9337

I have been solo mining for 3 days now and its at least 3 times more profitable for me than pool mining. Can’t wait for the diff to drop, should even be better then. Hope my luck holds.

Does anyone know how do you assign a payment address of your choice when solo mining?
