I was asked to take this to public.
hey there
Im looking to solo mine NETKO but not sure how to do so because i dont have mining equipment.
What i want to do is install wallet in my machine (or vps) then buy hashing power. Would that work or would it slow me down ? Should work the same was a a pool right ?
You cant really buy hashin power as noone rents gear for blake2s.
Solo on VPS forget about it, CPuU mining will be pointless sincer .
And plese take this discussion to the ANN. I cant really go one on one with the community for stuff like this, hope you can understand that.
Tnx.
Dont worrie about me not knowing where or how to buy blake2s.
What i am asking is how would i solo mine IF
a) My wallet runs on a VPS
b) I use bought hashing power.
Tnx for the public post as it will serve for others with similar questions.
For solo mining to your wallet running on a VPS or any other machine.
Create a netko.conf file and place it in your netko appdata folder (win %appdate% - linux ~/.netko/ - mac ~/Library/Application Support/netko/
After creation restart wallet/netkod.
Sample config:
server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
rpcuser=netko
rpcpassword=netkomine
rpcport=25970
rpcallowip=*
If you VPS is on another network your need to open RPC port 25970 (make a strong rcp user and pass in the config).
If your wallet computer and your miner computer are on a same local network there is no need to open RCP port but a local firewall exception for 25970 TCP will need to be created so that the miner pc can establish a RCP connection with the netkod/wallet.
When your netko daemon or qtwallet RPC calls are made available from a remote location its time to setup your miner with the following parameters.
Example Nvidia card on windows with ccminer. Miner for windows can be downloaded here
https://github.com/netkotech/netko/releases/download/v1.0/NetkoCCminer-rel1.8.4-vc2013-x64_Nvidia.zipor source here
https://github.com/tpruvot/ccminer/releases/tag/1.8.4-tpruvotSolo mining:
ccminer-80-x64 -i 28 -a blake2s -o http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:25970 -u netko -p netkomine
Pool mining on Suprnova:
ccminer-80-x64 -i 28 -a blake2s -o stratum+tcp://netko.suprnova.cc:3714 -u worker.worker -p x
That would be the quick how to solo/pool mine with an nvidia cuda GPU.
Cpu mining the same and cpu miner can be downloaded here:

Just remember, if you are renting hash rate form some remote person that you do not trust 100% this is not the best idea (to trust them the rpc login).
They can mine directly to your wallet yes. But they could also make transactions, or dump your wallets private keys.
If you do not trust this person completely, better pay the 1% pool fee and keep control over your coins.
Or set up your own pool. I made a prototype blake2s pool for nevacoin, did not manage to complete it yet, the worker hash rates are not reported on the webgui, but otherwise it works:
https://github.com/krilson/node-open-mining-portalBut the most elegant and safest solution would be if your hash provider would use mining software that has the
--coinbase argument enabled. In that case he could solo mine directly to a address that is on a separate wallet that only you control the private keys to. But as far as I am aware ccminer does not have that option.
