      @wrapper so in other words solo mining is broken and all these things im doing to try to fix it, is pointless? Am i correct in assuming this?

        @Milkyway All life is pointless to some extent. I am not able to confirm solo mining is broken, because I can’t test it. You are reporting a fault, there is an issue someone else had a similar problem. Your experience seems to confirm there is a problem. I informed you of a way forward and that I would raise the priority. To do that, I checked and confirmed with others the issue exists on the “0.9.6.1 release chat”.

            I was just reading this commit, it reminded me solo mining was moved to Feathercoin-cli …

            https://github.com/litecoin-project/litecoin/issues/333#issuecomment-315607256

            i.e. It’s not as simple as you do have the Feathercoin client running as well as the miner? to try solo mining.

              Hi,

              any update on this? I’m trying to solo mine with ccminer and 5 gtx 1070 but i got the same error.

              Is there any way to manage it?

              thanks

                What guide are you using? are you using feathercoin-cli? may help someone answer the query/issue.

                Otherwise, it may come up in some development were doing. We’d still need someone who can try any fixes, and be able to say, Phoenixcoin works but FTC doesn’t so we are sure (there is a problem).

                  Hi,

                  I’m just using the wallet and tried to solo mine as I’m doing with other coin pointing the miner to the wallet.

                  I don’t know how to use the -cli, is there any guide to follow?

                  thanks

                    What guide or instructions are you using? which coins have you successfully mined solo?

                      OK, I am trying to get some information about your set up. I have already mentioned that the problem may be that you need to run that (feathercoin-cli) to mine.

                      If that test doesn’t work - It then may be a fault we can fix. I have never solo mined (always used p2pool for ease and facility) so would have liked to look at a guide …

                      Instead of running the wallet you run feathercoin-cli

                        The -cli has the same set of commands previously contained on feathercoind.
                        The whole rpc client has moved.

                        I think you need 3 parts of software running to mine:

                        • feathercoind handling the block chain.
                        • feathercoin-cli accepting the incoming requests for m the miner
                        • the miner

                        I didn’t check that, it’s just my assumption

                          it’s just that I don’t know how to run the -cli in Windows, if I launch it from cmd lines it’s just popup but I don’t the next steps

                              Feathercoin-cli: cli stands for Comand Line Interface

                              To run it:

                              • open a command window start->all programs->enter ‘cmd’ in the search line
                              • change to the directory, where feathercoin-cli resides
                              • type 'feathercoinn-cli --help’ to get the options
                              • type ‘feathercoin-cli --getinfo’ to get info about the status of your client
                              • type ‘feathercoin-cli --getmininginfo’ to get the mining relevant informations

                                  Like @Wellenreiter said in point 3

                                  type 'feathercoinn-cli --help’ to get the options

                                  that gives you all the options available

                                      Over time it doesn’t make a big difference, whether you mine solo or you mine on a pool. Solo mining gives you the full 40 coins, if you find a block, while pool mining gives you your fair share of every block the pool finds. The pool approach gives a more regular inflow of coins while it has the little disadvantage that most pools charge you ~ 0.5 - 1% of your earning to finance the pool infrastructure and operation.

                                        Oh sorry guys didnt notice that here is a post with people having this problem (i helped @milkeyway over pm) shouldnt use mark all as read :-(

                                        All you need is:

                                        your Feathercoin wallet (feathercoin-qt.exe) fully synced

                                        a feathercoin.conf file (wherever you installed feathercoin\data\feathercoin.conf) in the data folder of the feathercoin wallet with his contents: you have to have the wallet running while mining and restart the wallet after you have created this file

                                        server=1
                                        rpcuser=user
                                        rpcpassword=pass
                                        rpcallowip=0.0.0.0
                                        rpcport=9337
                                        port=9336
                                        

                                        a fairly recent version of ccminer (rename .exe file to ccminer.exe (i didnt test others))
                                        i am using this one:
                                        https://github.com/djm34/ccminer-sp-neoscrypt/releases/tag/1.5.79-djm34-edition
                                        and a .bat /.cmd file with following content:

                                        ccminer.exe -a neoscrypt -i 22 -o 127.0.0.1:9337 -u user -p pass
                                        pause
                                        

                                        and it should look like this:

                                          Well done :)

                                          It looks pretty much like the standard setup. I’m a bit surprised, that it wasn’t documented in the forum already.
