Also make sure if you are running cgminer on seperate machine that you add an extra line in config to allow access from that machines IP or your local network with wildcards:
rpcallowip=192.168.0.*

How did you come up with that port number? Can you use another port instead?
Use any number you want. Just, keep it above 3000 and below 65555 as many standard ports are below that.
6666 maybe? 21232? Today's day 13110?
All works fine.
Note though that most pools use 3333 or 3330. So you may want to try to standardize around that.

Yes, works for any QT wallet.
But please consider that solo mining will become less profitable than pool mining when the difficulty increases (the turning point depends on your hashrate and the network hashrate).

Right. I've been trying to figure out that ratio off and on, since it is per coin.
I mean, for example I can mine like 30,000 DOGEcoins a day with the current difficulty.
I guess some pools offer block rewards?

So this will work for any of the -qt wallet apps? Litecoin-qt, Dogecoin-qt?
That's pretty cool.
That's pretty cool.
It's really easy actually.
Make a file called "COINNAME.conf" in the directory where the coin data is stored, and put the following in there:
You need to put a username and pass there, anything is ok.
Then make a shortcut to the coinqt.exe, go to properties of the shortcut, and add "-server" behind "target".
Then setup cgminer to mine at url http://127.0.0.1:9031, with the chosen username and password.

anyone¿ 
Hi, I would like to know how do you mine a scrypt coin that has no pools, and only a Windows wallet available.
Thanks
Thanks
