I kind of made some progress. Now cgminer will open and start to go, until 5 seconds later when it comes back with "No suitable long-poll found for http://localhost:9527".
What does that mean? It is not seeing the addresses in the http://www.fastcoin.ca/getting-started.html supplied config file, which are in their own .conf file now in the Roaming / Fastcoin folder where they should be?
I guess it's possible that those IP addresses are no longer valid.
This isn't something I HAVE to do, I just wanted to see a CPU miner going to work on a coin by itself, I could easily join my 9 GPUs to a fastcoin pool with no problem.
I'm thinking back to early 2009 when Bitcoin began, and there was next to no support, and you had to hack everything into working on your own pretty much.

You set the fastcoin. Conf file, need to open the purse to update.
Wallet after the update, you'll begin to solo
Wallet after the update, you'll begin to solo
The blockchain must be downloaded completely before you can start to solo mine.
The username and password are the rpcuser and rpcpassword of the conf file.
As rpcallowip use 127.0.0.1 any other IP depends on your local network settings so this would be the easiest solution.

It's just a mining pc with nothing else on it, so I am not worried about security on it.
I believe the IP you need to connect to is 127.0.0.1:9527
and you may want to change this one line in the config file.
rpcallowip=10.1.1.*
to
rpcallowip=*.*.*.*
and you may want to change this one line in the config file.
rpcallowip=10.1.1.*
to
rpcallowip=*.*.*.*
need to point out: you may not want to do that. *security risk*
The Fastcoin wallets' blockchain isn't fully downloaded yet, could that be a problem? I read on the site that the wallet had to be open for mining to work and it is open but it's still downloading.

There's the site, I made a fastcoin.conf file and put it in with the Fastcoin wallet files in the Roaming folder.
I have done pooled GPU mining many times and have the system figured all out, but I wanted to try solo cpu mining Fastcoin just to do it for a bit. The computer is running 7 Home Premium 64 bit.
The instructions on that site seem to be complete, but my cgminer 3.3.0 won't start up on it. With this alternate way of making the config file, cgminer asks me for an IP address, then a user name, then a password, then after that it can't get started. I tried a few different IPs from the config file and none worked.
Any ideas? Any CLEAR instructions? If someone starts with "make the config file and add the ip address and put it in the batch file", it'll be easy for me to get it confused.
Thanks.
