Could you tell me in a few words how to mine solo?
I. You need to have proper 42.conf file.
You maybe have already in your qt client folder an example 42.conf. If not, create a .txt file, edit it and save it as 42.conf
It should look quite like this:
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=4242
addnode=198.199.116.77
addnode=162.243.205.200
addnode=192.241.138.198
addnode=192.241.153.49
daemon=1
server=1
listen=1
127.0.0.1 is localhost. You may also add 192.168.0.0.x (whatever your subnet is)
ex.:
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1;192.168.0.0.6
you simply add ";" between adresses
Save the 42.conf file in:
C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\42
this is the data folder. You can change its path, but I will tell about it later.
II. You need to start a server. Make sure you have a proper 42.conf file in data folder (not 42.conf
.txt!).
1. Create a shortcut of 42-qt.exe
2. Go to properties of the shortcut (R mouse click on it - properties)
3. In the field "Target" type after the whole path "-server"
ex:
H:\Cryptocurrencies\42\42-qt.exe -server
Accept - OK
Off topic.
While you already under the shortcut's hood
You may also change path of the data folder by typing simply -datadir="path". ex.:
H:\Cryptocurrencies\42\42-qt.exe -server -datadir=blocks&wallet
By typing in this particular example -datadir=blocks&wallet you actually change the path to:
H:\Cryptocurrencies\42\blocks&wallet
You may also type:
H:\Cryptocurrencies\42\42-qt.exe -server -datadir=H:\Cryptocurrencies\DATADIR\42
And it will set the data folder there.
MAKE SURE THAT THE FOLDER EXIST BEFORE YOU RUN ITIII.
Now you start qt by running 42-qt-shortcut.exe and... start mining. You just normally set your miner, but instead pool's URL, login and password you type:
-o http://127.0.0.1:24242 -u user -p password
I apologize for my terrible English!
