      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

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

                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.

                                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.
