Topic: Is it Possible to Solo Mine with Silverfish 28M Miners (Read 2439 times)
I hope that it does. I can't find any other way of getting these units to solo mine. Its been a quite difficult journey just to come to this phase of the issue. So if anybody has been following this, I sure as hell hope that you don't have the same problems I've been having. Don't get me wrong these units work excellect when connected, but they should be a work around in the software to where you can disable the stratum+tcp command it adds.
Surely they are someone out there that has Silverfish miners and have asked the same question I have. Now the only thing is finding that person with the golden knowledge.
The issue that your having is that it seems the silverfish only support stratum while mining to a wallet only supports getwork iirc.
You may be able to overcome this with a stratum proxy -- https://github.com/Stratehm/stratum-proxy
Point the silverfish at the proxy, then the proxy at the wallet
The stratum proxy should work to fix some compatibility. It has been a while since I had my SF-28.
Nicehash never worked with the SF software it would do 99 percent reject. Nicehash has a area it talks about proxy some, https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=asic .
I did dl this but have no clue how to enable or set it up. I'm tinkering around with it but if anybody knows message me.

What do you mean open the port? You lost me there.
Just so everyone knows. This does not work for me me. It may you..IDK the situtation. But the bounty is still up for grabs. Message me if you can figure it out.
you also need to open the port on your router/internet box

Oh I forgot to mention, the silverfish aren't connected directly to my pc. They have a wireless connection. Does this make any difference?
Yes, as the rpcallowip function needs to allow a device to connect to the wallet on the same network.

This guide is mainly for windows however it can be slightly adjusted to be compatible with Mac and Linux Operating Systems.
Go to %appdata%/altcoin and create a text document called altcoin.conf
Inside the altcoin.conf file add the following lines.
Save it and then open your altcoin wallet. Note: Your altcoin wallet must be open at all times while mining.
Open your miner and in the pool url type:
In the worker username type in the rpcuser
In the worker password type in the rpcpassword.
Then you can mine!

If anybody can show me how to connect them to mine solo there's a 0.025 bounty. I know its not much, but I also know if its that hard. I'll just mine in a pool.
Please link me to the coin and miner software and I'll try to make a tutorial for you.

Believe me, I wouldn't even ask a question if I hadn't already googled it a million times. There seems to be no way to connect these miners to mine solo other than mining in a pool because of the auto add stratum+tcp. :/
There are many guides on the internet regarding solo mining.
You need to make a configuration file in your %appdata% (on windows) and then allow the ports to connect.
You then connect to 192.168.1.1:XXXX (port number here) and then mine.

Yes you can mine with them but you will not find any blocks unless you mine crap coins.
Waste of electricity

Has anybody ever sold mined with them without connecting to a pool? Someone please let me know so I can stop wasting my time looking for answers.
I'm using 2 28MH Silverfish miners. They do not have the option to disable the stratum+tcp command in the settings. It automatically puts it in there and they are no way to remove it. The only way I can find to solo mine with it is by connecting it to my own pool.
http://imgur.com/YTnyIO2 <---This is what the miner config looks like. You cannot change the stratum protocol to nothing. Like I said it auto puts that in there.
I know how to solo mine with BFG or CGMiner. But with these miners I'm unsure of how I could work around it autoadding the stratum+tcp into the mining pool line.

And the question is if it is worth, especially if difficulty is already too high.
actually it isn't his question... Does anybody know? I mean the lack of responses is depressing.
aside from the dedicated software I don't know, the way to solo mine is to create a configuration file for the wallet of the coin you want to solo mine where it is written address and port where your hardware will connect. There are many guide to solo mine, around (saw one earlier this week on this part of the forum), just follow it, and it should work.
Try to follow that guide: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/tutorial-solo-mining-litecoins-guide-windows-83371
(it works for every coins and isn't specific to litecoin, which might be a bit out of reach to solo miner)
