What's the Bitcoin-QT flag to sign a block? Can't seem to find the reference now.
Thanks,
Sam

Did you ever get an answer to this? is it something that the mining software might be modified to do?

No I haven't gotten an answer yet.

I don't know if the mining software could do it or not.

It's a normal function of the Bitcoin Client, but as with many functions of the Client it isn't documented in a place I can find it. I had seen several times people posting it in various threads but I can't find any of those old threads at the moment. But I haven't really tried too hard yet either.

Just how much hash power can be aimed a BitcoinQT and have things function correctly? Roll Eyes

By far this is the best guide I've seen for this. I just got my $10 lottery stick in the mail. I clicked on the zadig link and it says I dont have permission to access the file.

Thanks for the support! Be sure to think of me when you mine that elusive block Wink

The links appear to work now - not sure what happened there :/

Just out of wondering but wouldn't this work instead of going through all the file stuff? If not then would the way up top work?

and then download cgminer or bfgminer and make a file called mine.bat

open up mine.bat should look something like this.

Thanks! This is being quoted so I can find it easily in my own history later. I'll be coming back to this in Feb.

bes 0: | 336.0/327.4/ 0.00 Mh/s | A:0 R:0+0(none) HW:0/none

Mining for the hell of it.

I am assuming its working. the bat file gets saved in the directory with your bfgminer or cgminer

I found a mirror link for the zadig drivers somewhere else.

demonmeastro does that work? Where do I save the bat file?

I got that too. I had already downloaded it on another machine.

Post a note on the CGMiner thread so tha ckolivas can look into it.

So I'm solo mining PPC with my erupters using cgminer3.1.1. I just received my bfl's in the mail and am running those on bfgminer. But in order to get the cgminer started, I have to unplug the bfls from the computer first, start cgminer, then plug in the bfl's and run cgminer. Otherwise cgminer gets all confused when I run the bat file.

Ok, so first I start the erupters, then the bfl. When I start the bfl's, the cgminer running the erupters and soloing the ppc's has a message at the bottom:

USB init, open device failed, err -12, you need to install a windows USB driver for - BFL device 1:4
BitForce dectect <1:4> failed to initialise

Please note, the USB's are blinking and hashing.

How many bitcoins do you get, when you are mining with 5 usb eruptors?

nice description. By the way, if anyone wants to mine some ALT coin solo, this applies as well, just change any reference (including folders) from bitcoin to the name of the alt coin

I can only get v3.1.1 to work. And it doesn't show any accepted shares. The USB's blink like it's working. It says, "No suitable long-poll found for http://127.0.0.1:8332" Is it working without showing work?

When solo mining the only accepted share you will see is a block finder. So as long as your showing hash rate and the BE lights are blinking, your mining.
