Hi there it's me with questions about the beta Neoscrypt cgminer
-
Just signed up here, I’m an amateur miner.
I know this is Feather Coin forum but I see other subjects related to Phoenix coin so hope it’s OK.
I’ve been following the beta of the GPU miner for Neoscrypt. With all their help (reading) I got it going and am solo ming PXC and found 5 50 PXC’s of my own so far! Can’t wait for FTC’s entrance into Neoscrypt.
I’m using minerd to solo mine (I’m on Win 7 x64)
My question is that I have cgminer working (had to revert to 13. drivers because 14 wouldn’t work.) and it mines on pools on the internet but not local. I have no router and one computer that’s it.
I want to add it to solo mining but it won’t connect. I’m adding this by typing [P] and using that interface.
I try stratum+tcp://localhost:9554
I try stratum+http://localhost:9554
I try http://localhost:9554
My conf file
server=1
daemon=1
defaultkey=1
logtimestamps=1
dns=1
rcpallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcuser=phoenixcoinrpc
rpcpassword=x
I’m not allow to post on that subject where the big boys are yet cause of the newbie status.
Anybody got some troubleshooting skills?

No issues in you asking that here, but sorry I can’t help as I’ve yet to get solo mining working either

Daemons don’t support Stratum, so you’re limited to Getwork and Getblocktemplate while solo mining. Getwork may be better in this case. CPUminer works fine. The GPU miner is also supposed to, but if there is any incompatibility with Getwork still, provide your payment address to the miner and switch to Getblocktemplate.

I’ve been googling and not finding any examples of what to put in the miner using getblocktemplate and getwork can you give me the format eg: cgminer --neoscrypt http://127.0.0.1 -u -p etc;
I find all kinds of examples to disable the two but not much to enable. I’m a bit lost in that area…
Only example I can find in the Readme.txt Solo mining to local bitcoind:
cgminer -o http://localhost:8332 -u username -p password --btc-address
But wouldn’t be btc address in this case
Thanks

I am assuming your using the latest version (3.7.7b at this time).
This looks like it works - didn’t wait to find a block, it could take a while, but it’s mining, and I get accepted shares at pools:
cgminer.exe --neoscrypt -o 127.0.0.1:9554 -u yourrpcuser -p yourrpcpassword -o stratum+tcp://stratum.morehash.pw:3336 -u yourwalletaddress -p anything -I 10
You’re going to need to look at your phoenixcoin.conf file to get your rpcuser and rpcpassword. The .conf file lives in a folder called data, which isn’t in a standard location. Mine is on my desktop - no idea why it’s there, I didn’t even think that would work, but it does. If you don’t have a phoenixcoin.conf, your going to need to make one to solo mine.
The second pool settings will be your failover, and let you get work using longpoll. I don’t know if it helps performance-wise or not, but it makes me feel better when cgminer says “connected to… with LP” than when it says “connected to … without LP”
Good luck!

longpoll from what I read will make a difference when you solo mine.
From what I read the way it helps is if the second pool finds a block before you (as it will most times when you are solo mining you will be notified by this so you will stop trying to find the previous block solo mining and will move onto the new block sooner.
So basically it saves you a few seconds by shifting you to the new block sooner than it would if you don’t have a second pool listed as a failover.
