prefer used R-Box for bfgminer. ant i still confused in hardware error~
August 11, 2017, 09:32:23 AM
I tried and couldn't get my S9's to connect solo

Thanks. Giving this a go. Got some old Antminers lying around to start up.

Hello, it is possible to connect Antminer L3+ to BFGMiner solo?
thanks
thanks

70% error HW OUT WAHAHA Damn this bugged!
July 05, 2017, 02:06:03 PM
So the miner is working well with s5 but the difficulty is to low.has anybody an advice to set the difficulty to a reasonable value in this setup? That would be great

I'm pretty sure you have to run a stratum server in order for this to work properly. Check out Slush's free stratum server slushpool.com
https://slushpool.com/help/#!/manual/stratum-protocol
If anyone is still interested in this I'll figure it out and post a tutorial

Would you make step by step how to manual?I could not do it on my own and think there are lots of members like me.

Thanks for this nice tutorial. I downloaded AntiBitcoin wallet to try out solo mining for the first time. I have a few questions as well as need some help regarding this....
now extract BFGminer lets say to c:\ drive in a folder like c:\bfgminer\
Create a text file as the same location and put this inside:
Do I have to write the same username and password from AntiBitcoin.conf file in place of XXXXXX and x?
How do I know that my wallet is running in server mode? Will there be an indication to that? I mean, will my wallet's interface show something like "Running in server mode" on its status bar?
Will I need to enter same username and password again on my miner's web interface?
I tried to follow every step but I faced this error everytime!

Code:
bfgminer -o localhost:11655 -u [b]XXXXXX[/b] -p [b]x[/b] --stratum-port=3333
pause
Name it start-pool.batpause
Do I have to write the same username and password from AntiBitcoin.conf file in place of XXXXXX and x?
so after you setup this exit the wallet and than run it again, your wallet now is running in server mode.

hi, i have some questions, hope you can help me. thanks.
1)where download AntiBitcoin wallet? [i create my altcoin named testcoin, if i want to solo miner altcoin with bfgminer and antminer miner].
2)your altcoin program is running on linux server or win pc?
November 11, 2016, 08:03:55 AM
Some people find it hard to solo mine altcoins using antminer such as S3, S4, C1, S5, S7 and others, generally I speak of miners which have Ethernet port or wifi and doesn't require to be connected to a PC to work, because they have their own rasberry pie or chip inside with CGminer or BFGminer.
This tutorial should apply for any altcoin SHA256 and ASIC miner.
I am writing this because I was trying to find a way to solo mine [ANTI] the first community maintained altcoin with no real owner or organization.
And my contribution to mining is the following.
You will need
- BFGminer.
- Your wallet running on pc.
- You and the miner should be at the same network "both connected to the same router doesn't matter Wifi or lan".
- a windows PC but if you use Linux or mac the only difference is the location of "altcoinname.conf" where altcoin name could be any altcoin.
First of all know what RPC ports your wallet use, google "coin name RPC port" if you don't know, for ANTI it should be 11655.
Now you will need to open your AppData it's located in C:\Users\YOURUSER\AppData\Roaming\AntiBitcoin this is ANTI example for other altcoins should be different in the last folder which is the altcoin name.
Make a new text file and paste the following:
Rename it to your altcoiname.conf should be named as the folder in my case AntiBitcoin.conf
Replace XXXXX with some user name like user1
the password recommended to choose a hard one instead of the x, something like 16 letters and numbers capital and small just don't use dots special characters and stuff because I don't know what they might cause, for example PaSSW0rdStr0Ng is good for now.
Replace RPC port with your wallet RPC port, as 11655 is for ANTI, you can have a custom port number if you want just remember that you will need it later, and it's recommended to use the one from altcoin specs just to not conflict.
so after you setup this exit the wallet and than run it again, your wallet now is running in server mode
Now you need to download BFGminer, we will use it as a stratum proxy, because your miner can't speak with RPC directly and solo mine, you need a proxy to translate between the wallet and the stratum based or http based miner.
download BFGminer from here http://bfgminer.org/ or compile from source doesn't matter do what suites you.
now extract BFGminer lets say to c:\ drive in a folder like c:\bfgminer\
Create a text file as the same location and put this inside:
Name it start-pool.bat
The above should work on all antminer but if you have a problem replace "stratum" with "http" is for compatibility.
You need to replace the port 11655 with the port you choose in your altcoin.conf the port 3333 leave it it's the port you will connect to from your miner.
now fire up the start-pool.bat you should see that everything is ready and no errors, it will display a speed of 0.
now go to command line by running CMD and write "ipconfig", find your local ip address for example 192.168.1.4
Go inside your miner web interface and change the first pool to "192.168.1.4:3333" without the replace the IP with the one you found from ipconfig but keep the port to 3333 since we used it in the BFGminer file.
save settings of your miner, and wait, you should see now that hash rate going up on the bfgminer window.
Your wallet will have the coins when it mine, you don't need to use your address as username or anything, RPC will handle it with the wallet, you might also find a new address in your wallet with label BFGminer, that will hold your mined coins, but depend on wallet.
I have tested this with ANTI wallet, so please backup your wallet.dat before you try, I know that many know this information but I share it because I didn't find it online, I had to learn it by my self, and therefore I don't want people to have to learn it all the way alone like I did.
Feel free to add or fix on this tutorial, share and distribute as you wish, and if you want to be free join ANTI team, you can be the dev, the representative or be proud and tell everyone you own this coin, ANTI is the first community based altcoin, made by the community with no owner or central dev, we all work and contribute.

hi, i have some questions about solo mine with antminer R1. i create my altcoin and run it as daemon on RedHat server(ip 192.168.1.1), i want to mine altcoin by antminer R1, i modify some configuration according to your tutorial.
for example, my window pc ip is 192.189.32.1(antminer R1 and the RedHat server are not at the same network)
i run bfgminer on window pc, start-pool.bat's configuration:
bfgminer -o 192.168.1.1:11655 -u test -p test --stratum-port=3333
pause
my altcoin configuration(ip 192.168.1.1):
server=1
rpcuser=test
rpcpassword=test
daemon=1
rpcport=11655
rpcallowipo=192.189.32.1
gen=0
antminier web first poo: "192.168.1.1:3333"
when i run start-pool.bat. it notices:
"pool 0 slow/down or url or credentials invlid.
no servers were found that could be used to get work from.
please check the details from the list below of the servers you have input.
most likely you have input the wrong url, forgotten to add a port , or have not set up workers."
is there any incorrect step?
you say "- Your wallet running on pc.", i have not running altcoin wallet because i can not create altcoin wallet, could you give some advices? thank you.

The more important thing is, 'is it profitable?'.
July 15, 2016, 05:35:51 PM
I was able to get my antminer to work with wallet, but soon as it starts mining, allmost all chips show as X. Any clue what it means?
Thanks for any tip.

i changed from stratum to http and after a few minutes its alive.. but very slow.. like 3ghs..
i dont think it will work.

How do I fix (bfgminer) : No usable 2D Work upstream
I tried multiple SHA-256 Coins , & Double checked checked allowed ips
Please Help

You can mine on any ASIC miner using my instructions, I did it with C1 which is just 4 S3's stuck together on a case.

U3 works without problems (bfgminer -o 127.0.0.1:11655 -u xxxxxx -p x --http-port=3333
pause), but s3 and s5 can not get.
Sorry that's S3 not U3. Typing error.
So I cannot mine on S3?
Why is it not able to communicate with stratum server?
Then how did you turn on your S5? I think S3 and S5 are equal. The only difference is the hashrate. Btw that is not a problem though because ANTIBitcoin's network hashrate is low. So your miner needs to cope up with the network.
Why do you connect to 192.168.1.4 :3333? CMD and write "ipconfig"

From everything I have tried you can solo mine if your device has a Pi. Not without setting up a proxie server. If your device plugs into a computer via USB you can solo mine.
I am trying to solo mine with my Antminer U3. I think it has a Pi integrated within the device because it works as standalone. No it does not need to connect to my computer via USB. See here for more info --- https://bitmaintech.com/productDetail.htm?pid=00020140630025130637RV8OhOwt06BC
It seems to me to resolve the problem,

Omg that's amazing. At least it worked out for you buddy
Mine is still stuck with no device found!Can you pm me with the detailed instructions you followed step by step?
