I'd like to solo-mine FeatherCoins, but my hashrate is very low. So I thought, if it's possible, I'd try to solo-pool mine it - I mean to create my own pool of clients to add their hashrates. Is there a simple way to do it? If so, how? Can I use pooler's CPU miner?
Seriously guys, how can I create my own mini-pool? Not sure if worth to bother after the difficulty jump, though...
I'm not entirely sure what you are asking, but you can run the FC client on one machine, and then point all of your CPU/GPUs to that local computer, connecting with cgminer or something to 192.168.*.* (whatever your IP is), and mine that way. Is that what you mean? You'd be solo-"pool" mining yourself?
Exactly. What I tried, that I started feathercoin-qt like this:
./feathercoin-qt -listen -rpcuser=faszom -rpcpassword=faszom -rpcallowip=127.0.0.1I'm really not sure if I really need all these parameters, I just kept trying and added more parameters as I was trying without success.
Then I started CPUminer like this:
minerd --userpass faszom:faszom --url http://127.0.0.1:9336Then I get this output from minerd:

Simultenously, this appears in the debug.log of feathercoin-qt:
accepted connection 127.0.0.1:56132

First I was trying to connect different machines, but when it didn't work, I thought to experiment on localhost first to shoot out possible network or IP blacklisting problems.
It must be something obvious... It looks like if they weren't talking the same protocol - but then how do I point a miner to my client?
