That meta holds the information about the block. So simply just mining it. I want to see something more than 0. So Solo just add another worker. Configure your miner cgminer, cudaminer, etc to talk to your Wallet's IP address or if on dogecoin same machine, localhost or This cinnamon be zero.

I haven't got my ATI machines up yet so I haven't used cgminer yet to know. No problem, setup a DOS batch or linux shell script to loop after a timeout - to retry your own wallet. Seems unlikely that one's first solved block solo mining is , reward exactly. One more time you want to extract that into a folder. CrayjeksAjek on March 22, ,

So I just add another worker. Hope to see a block found soon: I might push the voltage up, but as the limit is still the power, I don't think adjusting the coin will really do much beyond raise temperatures. The new diff can be used when you mining renting equipment which requires higher solo setting, or you need your diff to be exactly power of two or whatever other dogecoin you might have. And then you can set automatic cinnamon threshold.

Or the block you find could be too stale to be accepted. After time, blocks become very difficult and time consuming to generate - e.
It would take me a little over 6 months to find 1 single Litecoin block solo mining - which may be invalid by then. It would also take me about 3 years to get 1 block of bitcoin, which would be 25 coins at the current reward. But still, 3 years! If you don't finish a block, all that time mining is wasted electrical costs. For example, say you are able to estimate mining a block in about 22 days.
You start and you are up and down, playing games, rebooting, studying for school, etc. That's it, you've lost it. What are the advantages then? The rewards, as mentioned above, are the amount of coins awarded when a block has been completed and accepted. You will see this in your log you when complete a single block: BAM, got my first Digitalcoin and There are also other advantages I am noticing: You are mining directly against your local machine, not connecting to an external pool.
Does anyone know if this works offline, or with intermediate connectivity? No "DoS" attacks against the pools. This is your local machine, do as you wish. Want to fall back? No problem, setup a DOS batch or linux shell script to loop after a timeout - to retry your own wallet. Or, setup multiple different wallets in case your main wallet app crashes. I am not sure what happens if you have multiple copies of the same wallet open across different machines. Does your mining 'transfer' over to the other one?
It's a bunch of voodoo and hard to know exactly what the pool is doing though I am sure most can be trusted. No pool fees - you are your own pool!
You also get a cool "mining" icon instead of a coin icon in your wallet, like this: How do you estimate how long it would take to mine a single block? This is hard to figure out with fluctionations in the difficulty, the risks stated above, etc. It can vary greatly. I basically used www. I also wrote a quick javascript snippet for those that want to see the math and run it yourself: Well, that's a rough estimate and can vary greatly. What were your results Eric?
Again, take this with a grain of salt because of the risks noted above. I just started solo mining this morning and have found my first two blocks! Notice that I found my first block in just over 7 hours? And then a 2nd one just shy of 3 hours later! Not 14 hours that was originally estimated, but just 7 hours and then 3! I'll leave it going and will come back to update this post. But, at this rate, I'm on target to earn 55 coins in a 24hr period, not 28 coins as estimated by other DGC pools and coinwarz.
Uh, that's a serious advantage to solo mining! I am sitting on Not bad for a couple of Titans. Man I want my s to get here fast! I'll tell you what though. The first, or maybe second rejection I get if any will quickly put me off of solo mining and I'll be back to pooling.
What should you do then? Basically, you want to join a pool and mine there. That's first and foremost the best advice because the pool shares the risks noted above stales, rejections, etc. Pool mining finds several blocks quickly, and depending on their hashrate, could dish out rewards several times a day.
Pool mining also usually accepts your mining quickly, like several per minute. You can spin up and shut down as often as you want, with credit given on just your short time mining. Only if a coin comes along, or if one is launching soon like Kanye West Coin , lol , or if a coin has a very short block finding rate, would solo mining be interesting for the reward.
Basically, it's a gamble. You are gambling you can find blocks faster than the estimated difficulty factor of the coin, before it ramps up the difficulty. So, I will be gambling that I can find digitalcoins faster than the 0. Ok, thanks for the info Shut up and tell me how do you setup solo mine then! This is not a completely guide. I am only going to mention a Windows method for right now.
When I get my linux boxes up, I'll update the guide on how to do it on Linux. But no matter the platform, the basics are this: Setup a Wallet, open the wallet, and keep it running on the desired machine. Most wallet software is also a "Server"! Yep, it opens a port and lets you mine directly against the wallet - especially these Wallet-QT bitcoin wallet clones that the Alt coins are using Dogecoin-qt, Litecoin-qt, Digitalcoin-qt, etc.
It takes a little special configuration file to configure a Wallet to act as a server. Configure your miner cgminer, cudaminer, etc to talk to your Wallet's IP address or if on the same machine, localhost or I am not going to cover that in this How To.
Download a Wallet application and set it up normally with an address. Every coin has a nice Introduction webpage instructing you on how to download their wallet, and how to set it up. Make sure to Encrypt it! Close the Wallet app, and edit the conf file. The default location is in the C: If not, you may want to grab the one that was included in the ZIP file of your wallet. For example, for 66 Coin, call it: That's the only place it is read from.
I don't support this in this How To as that is an advanced topic using command line parameters. Enter these values in that conf file. Make sure they only appear once. Do not delete anything already in the conf file: Do note that it is transmitted over clear text over your local network.
So don't use something too cryptik. I think rpcconnect is the IP address to bind to. I'm guessing, and I'll find out later when I try to use multiple machines.
If so, then you want to set this to your actual IP address. Or, I think you can even omit the entire rpcconnect and it may bind to all IPs I think that's what I read in the readme.
I only have it as that's what everyone else had. Create a new shortcut to your Wallet application executable. You can right-click on digitalcoin. This is specific to my machine, where I use Google Drive to share "portable" apps so I don't have to frack with setting them up multiple times across different machines. It didn't seem to be read or found. I wish someone could have the time to release a good p2pool in binary with a external coins configuration file make a network.
Hi, Good, Honestly after time reflexion, I will go ahead with solo mining. Anyone have a script or a good how-to to mine in solo with cgminer? All is setup and running since 14 hours now. Hope to see a block found soon: Just for someone that are interested to know.. Amph on January 11, , January 18, , If you end up on a pool again, try dogefast.
