Reject whilst solo mining?
-
Have you tried the --no-submit-stale flag? I use it, but I haven’t tried it solo mining though…
-
When you are solomining directly behind the feathercoin client, you have no longpoll. So if the network finds a block, your miner will notice that when it aquires its next getwork. Due the default setting in cgminer to do so once a minute, you might be hashing up to 60 seconds on the old block, before you get the really current work.
I suggest using a pool, or setting up a pushpool just for you, so you have LongPoll. Beware that you have to use the blocknotify cmd in the client config in order to let you LongPoll work almost instant, otherwise it would have no effect using pushpool alone.
Another solution is to lower the scantime in cgminer to 5 seconds or less so your chances of hashing on the old prevhash is much lower.happy mining

[/quote]i haven’t but then even if i did then would it not simply still generate the rejects just not send them. Therefor only saving a minuscule amount of bandwidth?

I considered seting up a pushpool for myself but never got around to looking up how. Anyone got a step by step guide?I know i could mine on a pool but where’s the fun in that? ;)

[/quote]^ This, in fact I’m not 100% convinced/sure if you will save or increase bandwidth by a minuscule amount either, due to the fact it now has to check and then report back rather than simply just send, so you may even miss the next hash boat as a result. < Extreme yes, but possible, I think? ???

Good point. Still liking the idea of the personal pool just to make my life even more complicated. Anyone ???

[/quote]Sorry mate I don’t have a scooby doo on that one… Sure someone will be along to assist you though! 8)

Come back to Give-me-ftc NutNut or let me beg my way on to yours. >:(
LOL :)

Sorry Zythen but soloing is so much more exciting. It like nothing, nothing, nothing… BAM! 200 coins. Also i figured i’d let someone else have a go at the top of the charts. ;)
If i had a pool though you’d be more than welcome. :)

[/quote]There shouldn’t be any need to change the wallet setting or to create your own pushpool. When solo-mining I recommend adding a p2pool with stratum as a backup pool. This way, your miner will be notified of any new blocks very quickly, so you won’t still be mining an old block.

[/quote]Good Point, btw. any pool with LongPoll Support will help your effort there, no need for P2P here.
This will only work if you are using cgminer. reaper does not have the multi server feature working, yet.
another way:
Your client has the ability to run a command (under linux this works,dunno about windows) when receiving a new block. so you can even workaround the backup pool way. You just need to figure out how to trigger LP routines at cgminer manually, maybe there is some API making this possible, dunno since i am reaper user.Happy Mining.
