Solo mining alt coins with asicminer blades

I figured out a simple way to accomplish it without having to setup a pool.

Setup:

1 Macmini with VMware Fusion and time machine setup to external hd
1 VM - Ubuntu 13.10 with BFG Miner 3.6.0
1 VM - Windows XP with wallets

With this, I have one computer so my power usage is minimal. BFG miner added support for blades so I just point bfg to the wallets like you normally would, and with using bfg miner I can add all my wallets in pools and I balance them.

Reason I had to put bfg miner on ubuntu 13.10 instead of windows is I was getting all sorts of dll errors. Fresh install of ubuntu 13.10, and compiled bfg miner and all was happy in the land of mining.

Seems to be working out pretty good so far.

I don't know all the ins and outs, but something called the Stratum Protocol had to be implemented to handle the speed of ASIC devices.

You may need to investigate what it is and implement it.

Ok, I know this has probably been beaten to death but google is not being my friend in this. I can find information on solo mining for using cgminer, and the like, but nothing for using hardware miners.

I am wanting to solo mine zetacoins and I setup my conf file and I can connect but after a few mins the wallet crashes. I am guessing it is because I am trying to push 20 GHs to it and it can't handle it.

When it comes to pools everything is geared to bitcoin. Has anyone successfully setup a private pool for zetacoins.

Right now I'm on multipool, but would like to solo if possible.

Thank you,
Michael
