SOLO-MINE GRANITECOIN (GRN)--
I have been experimenting with solo-mining while using sp_'s modified and enhanced kernels. After successfully solo-mining Ether Coin (ETH) with a cuda-modded ethminer from Genoil, I began using sp_'s CCminer and learning to configure it for solo-mining . I have since mined SecureCoin (SRC, Quark algo), and VertCoin (VTC, Lyra2v2 algo), and I am still determined to tackle NeoScrypt algo coins.
In the meantime, I successfully have begun mining GraniteCoin. GraniteCoin uses the x11 algo. It is also a project headed by a frequent contributor to this thread, Chrysophylax.
It was very easy to set up and solo-mine this coin. My wallet, GraniteCoin wallet v1.0.1.0 Release-final, was obtained from the website, "
www.granitecoin.com". I am running Win 7 x64, I ran the QT installation executable, and the wallet synched up with the network fairly quickly. During that time, I wrote a configuration file:
=================cut line=================
server=1
daemon=1
rpcuser=yourname
rpcpassword=x
rpcport=21778
port=21777
rcpallowip=127.0.0.1
rcpallowip=192.168.1.111
rpcallowip=192.168.1.112
rpcallowip=192.168.1.113
rpcallowip=192.168.1.114
rpcallowip=192.168.1.115
=================cut line=================
where "192.168.1.111" is the LAN IP address of the Win 7 server with the wallet. The other addresses are the LAN IP addresses of computers within the LAN capable of mining with cpuminer-multi (tpruvot), or sp_'s CCminer release dot 69. I specified each individual address after receiving errors in earlier attempts while using wild cards (192.168.1.*). Further, the GraniteCoin wallet would only let the local GTX 960 connect by the localhost address, "127.0.0.1". The configuration file goes in the directory "...AppData/Roaming/granitecoin" under the login-user name. It is named granitecoin.conf by default.
My Win 7 launch bat is named run-cc.bat, and written like this:
=================cut line=================
:loop
c:\mine\ccminer.exe -c solo-grn.conf
pause
goto loop
=================cut line=================
as I have several configuration files, very similar, allowing me to switch between pools and wallets easily by only typing in the name with notepad.
My solo-grn.conf file, on Win 7, reads like this:
=================cut line=================
{
"url" : "127.0.0.1:21778",
"user" : "yourname",
"pass" : "x",
"algo" : "x11",
"intensity" : 20.5,
"cpu-mining" : 1,
"cpu-priority" : 5,
"quiet" : false,
"debug" : false
}
=================cut line=================
My Linux launch line, on the IP addresses across the LAN, reads like this:
=================cut line=================
./ccminer -a x11 -i 20.5 -C --cpu-priority 5 -o
http://192.168.1.111:21778 -u yourname -p x
=================cut line=================
It just works. Simple, solid....
