Topic: Solo mining help? (Read 532 times)
Could you provide screenshots of guiminer's main page and the miner's settings page?
Something is wrong if you are still getting shares. Did you add rpcallowip=*, rpcuser=your_user_name, and rpcpassword=your_password to bitcoin.conf?
If you mining on the computer with the bitcoin server then the ip address and port should be 127.0.0.1 and 8332 respectively. If I remember correctly.
*IP address of your miner, assuming you mine on a separate computer from your server.
Hope this helps,

Hmm, I did that, yea, so it is kinda weird why I'm still getting shares...

...I wasn't asking how much you got from mining BTC solo, I already knew you only got 25 at a time. I'm not new to this. I'm just having different results than the tutorial said I would, so back to my question, did I set it up right?
You don't get shares if you solo...
I'm saying that unless you have an ASIC you'll never find a solo block. Even if you did have an ASIC I still don't think you can find a solo block. The dificullty is just too high now for anyone without a supercomputer to solo bitcoins.
So I've decided to start solo mining, and I followed this tutorial to do so.

So, usuing GUIminer, I started up my bitcoin client as a server. It started with no probs, and I went down to "other" in the server list and entered the IP and port. Then I entered some more stuff, and hit "Start mining." It started fine, but it says I still get shares like I did when I was mining on (example) slush's pool. Not like what this tutorial said would be coming up...am I doing it right? Please help, thanks.

With solo mining, you either find 25BTC or nothing. Nobody should solo mine BTC at this point - I dont think even an ASIC would be able to
