Hey everyone, been trying to set up my rig to mine this coin, but I have a few issues that I lack the expertise to solve. My mining rig is behind a firewall, a firewall that is quite robust and pretty much only allows my miners to connect over port 80 to anything mining related. Now as far as I can tell for you to properly solo mine spreadcoin you need to have the wallet software linked to the miner using the spreadcoin.conf? Is this correct? Do I need to have the wallet software running on the same computer that the mining rig is on or can the mining rig connect to my wallet software on my home PC and run like that? It just feels like I'm missing something simple to get my mining going...
The wallet software on the mining cannot download the blockchain or CPU since the firewall connection clearly does not allow the wallet to download. Anybody have any tips getting the wallet to download the blockchain over port 80?
I think I've managed to set this up on my home computert since I set up the
spreadcoin.config(with private key) and have managed to mine, but after 24 hours either I didn't set it up properly or I just did not find any blocks. I put in these settings as well as my privkey.
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=80
rpcthreads=15
daemon=1
server=1
listen=1
did you name the spreadcoin config file "spreadcoin.conf"?
It is normal to not find any blocks after 24 hours. How many kh/s do you get?
Are you trying to mine at work or something? Because when this was cpu only I tried to mine at school but I couldn't connect to anyone.
Also, you should have rpcallowip=
if the rig is on a different computer.
Hey. No, I just named it spreadcoin.
Yeah, have my setup in my office. I also cannot mine with the wallet software on that network.
Ok, first, press the windows key + R
In the window that came up type "control folders" (without the "") and press enter.
In the view tab make sure "Hide extensions for known file types" it
unticked and then press ok.
Ok now navigate to you spreadcoin folder (%appdata%/Spreadcoin)
Now make sure to name the config file "spreadcoin.conf". And make sure it doesn't have .txt on the end. If it does, just rename it without it.
So are you saying my primary wallet software(on my home PC) should have the mining rigs IP and not the standard 127.0.0.1?
Yeah, because I assume rpcallowip means "Only allow this IP to connect to the wallet" so at your office, go to
http://www.whatsmyip.org/ to find the ip of your office and at home replace 127.0.0.1 with that ip.
Once you go back to work go back to
http://www.whatsmyip.org/ to check if the IP changed. If it didn't then you are good to go. (hopefully)
Okay, managed to get the miner running now on my home PC. Do I need the wallet software on my mining rig to be running as well? Thanks for the help btw, it is massively appreciated.
I accessed my mining rig via remote desktop and when I attempted to mine I got this:

I also like but dislike how miners aren't willing to sell their SpreadCoins cheap 
Also I don't want to spend an arm and a leg to get these coins and it doesn't look like anyone is dumping these coins anytime soon! Damn you valuable SpreadCoin!! LOL Now I'm all addicted to you and can't get enough
