Solo mining question/ new member =)

greven

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

thanks,

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

“If you’re using Windows 7 or 8, you also need to go into the Windows Firewall and click on Advanced then allow the ports you want to use for Bitcoin Core”

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

thanks,

if i try to open the rpc port it gives me error, any guide on how to use it?

Like @Wellenreiter said in point 3

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

that gives you all the options available

tried but without luck :( going back to pool mining then

Wellenreiter

@greven

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:

@shadow1117

Well done :)

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

@Wellenreiter i think i copy that into the mining section as how to solo mine?

If you can cut and paste that into a new thread how to solo mine Feathercoin in Guides. I’ll point a link to it from the [FAQ]'s - most people find this stuff through google, forum is indexed well.

@wrapper can you move it? i created it in the mining section
