Hello.
I try to solo mine, and I wandering if there is necsessary redirect port 8333 to the computer running the Bitcoin-qt (latest 6.0).
I observed a very large outbound traffic on this computer.
I sopped redirection (uploud decreased by 95%) and miners are on a mine,
but I wonder whether there will be any problems with announcement of to find the block.
I googled, that previously advised that the port forwarding 8333.
There is a miner with some knowledge or experience on this?
Thank you in advance Panda Mouse

Can anybody answer if I can solo mining (bitcoin-qt) when my wallet is encrypted?
Many thanks in advance.

yes you can solo mine with an encrypted wallet
Thanks a lot.

been solo'ing for 3months, found one block -it was awesome... variance is pretty horrible, but what’s even worse is having your cluster (machine) solve a block for a pool and getting .03BTC for it.
Besides solo mining helps the network a lot more than pool'd mining... kinda defeats the purpose of a decentralized currency if you're going to centralize all the hashing resources (P2Pool is a good alternative) that keep/verify/transmit/hash the transaction logs.
…I have just over 3Gh/sec…
What are you guys using to keep track of your ‘shares’ …read previously that some peps have mentioned “I’m at 1,000,000. Nothing yet”

at a pool you would have made about 160btc in 3 months!!
and this is at the current higher diff. you would have made more if you calculate the lower diffs

edit: o, and btw, i hope your power is free. you spent about 30 btcs in power if not. so your profit in 3 months was 20btc vs 130btc

Can anybody help me?
1.
If I try solo mine - can I use similar cgminer flag configurations (-u rpcUser -p rpcPass -o http://10.0.0.101:8332 --auto-fan --gpu-engine 450-1180 --gpu-memdiff -150 --gpu-powertune 0 --temp-target 75 -g 2 -q -I 9 -k poclbm -v 1 -w 256) like in deepbit? There is some special additional flags?
2.
It is possible to connect many PC's to one server (10.0.0.101) and have another userName?
3.
I've read all pages and can't start mining (bitcoind getgenerate = false), I use windows 7, made all steps properly. There is a trick?
Thanks in advance Panda Mouse
2.Yes, But not with other usernames asfar as i've tried. i think it has something to do with identifying the hashing strength as one unit, rather than two comps (Do Not Know)
3. Theres no trick.... could you be more specific as to where it is that the attempt to solomine begins to fail?
1.
I forwarded port 8333 to 10.0.0.50
2.
On PC 10.0.0.50 started bitcoin-qt.exe with bitcoin.conf:
rpcuser=DingoRabiit
rpcpassword=DertyPasswurds
rpcallowip=10.0.0.*
rpcport=8332
server=1
3.
On PC 10.0.0.100 started cgminer.exe -u DingoRabiit -p DertyPasswurds -o http://10.0.0.50:8332 --auto-fan --gpu-engine 450-1180 --gpu-memdiff -150 --gpu-powertune 0 --temp-target 75 -g 2 -q -I 9 -k poclbm -v 1 -w 256
- its working and say: Pool 0 http://10.0.0.50:8332 alive
4.
On PC 10.0.0.50 started bitcoind.exe getgenerate (and get "false") - (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Original_Bitcoin_client/API_calls_list)
So main questions is:
1. Where can I see if I am working and how fast?
2. Where is address I'll receive 50BTC?
Many thanks for any helps.

I don't know by experience but I solo mine litecoins just like this. Have a wallet or daemon running on one pc with
server=1
rpcallowip=subnet*
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=password
in the conf file and the miners all connect with the same user/password to this one ip or hostname and mine...

what about solo mining LiteCoins? Did you guys consider it? The official Litecoin wallet client has a mining option but there is no information which would give you some clue about progress. Also I don't know if minerd miner can work this way without a pool... Or would it work with litecoind?
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Bitcoin\bitcoin-qt.exe" -server launches me without any problem on 0.5.2
I was trying SOLO mining from time to time with GUIminer since 6 months ago and I was lucky twice 
.
Steps as following:
1)Solo Utilities -> Create solo password (to create my username & pass)
2)File -> new miner -> open CL miner -> Name new miner -> (server: solo, user: my_username, pass: my_pass, flags: -v -w128 -f0)
3)Solo Utilities -> Set Bitcoin client path
4)If bitcoin client is open, then close it.
5)Solo Utilities -> Launch Bitcoin client as Server (This will run bitcoind.exe from "C:\program...files\bitcoin\daemon" folder)
But today I've just installed BTC client 0.5.2 and now I can't mine in SOLO mode.
Every time I try to Launch Bitcoin client as Server several error dialog boxes are shown.
I checked "...\bitcoin\daemon" folder and there is not bitcoind.exe file.
I uninstalled 0.5.2 BTC client and downgraded it to 0.3.24 but no succeed, the same error dialog boxes are still shown.
Sugestions are welcome, thanks in advance.-
Try going to your Application data (if on windows, Run->%appdata%) and goto Bitcoin, Then There will be a file called Bitcoin.conf (make a backup) Edit it like so:.Steps as following:

ya i understand.
But i want to try my luck for 1 or 2 days to see will i catch anything
No, You will not, You are going to need 20GH+ if you want to take a "three day wild swing for a block" But i want to try my luck for 1 or 2 days to see will i catch anything

Kepp in mind that some people, Who started early, Are gonna walk up and be all like
"Yo bitch, Check it *flash a screen shot of a wallet full of nothing but Gen'd blocks and 5xxxBtc with todays date in Several spots*, You aint got shit of a chance, trust me, It's like playin roulette with only one number"

I want to try solo mining.
I don't know the steps on windows 7.
can anyone explain me to how to mine solo with steps?

Solo mining, now THAT is work of True Heros
Thanks for the update. I am still following.
One possible option to help speed it up a bit would be to run a 'mini pool'. Open up 8332 in your FW and forward it to your daemon ip. Then rpcallowip one or two trusted friends pulling 1GH+ and split it 2 or 3 ways at 0% or whatever.

I thought about running a pool before and it never really felt like a thing I should do.
So doing a mini pool sounds pretty blah for other people. I will do this on my own or just
quietly fail and sell off the hardware ;-)
You guys are crazy. Good luck if you get a 10 million round block.
Crazy is someone paying 3 perfectly good US dollars for a bitcoin. ;-)
Me? I am just experimenting since the profits for being a miner have become quite pathetic.
I would like to have solved my own block before I shut down and stop being a miner. I guess
a small goal before winding things down. A 100 dollars more or less will not make a difference
to me. The hardware is paid off and waiting 30 more days before selling it should not result
in much of a difference in price.
You guys are crazy. Good luck if you get a 10 million round block.
They very well could get a 10mil round and then get all less than 500k rounds for 20 in a row after that. Or vise versa for that matter. I'd be willing to take the risk once my hash/diff ratio would put my average time to match diff to about 7-10 days.

I'm at 1,000,000. Nothing yet.
We should both be thankful that difficulty will take a very large drop shortly.
Difficulty 1468195
Estimated 1235415 in 367 blks
It is a reduction like that which makes it pretty darn reasonable to start finding a block on our own
in a reasonable amount of time.

Well I started solo mining on Oct 20th.
It is now Oct 27th and I have completed about 350,000 difficulty 1 shares and no block found yet.
Just to summarize how I am solo mining..
In my bitcoin.conf file I have:
rpcuser=my-user-name
rpcpassword=my-password
rpcallowip=x.x.x.x (for each machine)
I then started bitcoin in -server mode so it would open up the right port (8332) and allow
work to be given to each miner.
I am using 4x5830, 2x6950 (shaders unlocked), and 1x5850. All over clocked to the max before they crash.
This gives an estimate of about 2.4+ gh/s.
Bitcoin gives very steady work to all miners.
Kind of depressing watching my last transaction having 767 confirmations in the bitcoin client knowing that
the pool I normally used has found hundreds of blocks. So that is lost income. But then I realize BTC is under
3 US dollars and think that I really have not given up that much money at all.
A long ways to go before I hit a million diff 1 shares and have a reasonable chance of having found something.
Finding a block with only 350,000 diff 1 shares would be incredibly good luck.

The writing appears to be on the wall. I do not see a BTC worth more then 5 dollars USD for many moons
to come. I will not say ever.. since that is a long time ;-)
to come. I will not say ever.. since that is a long time ;-)
At this point I think you're better off to find a solid dependable *PPS site, set that to your primary, find another one, set it to your secondary, and then forget about it for a while..
Nah. I have decided to try for 50 virgin coins. Bitcoin is worth so little it really does not matter to me
anymore. Making 3-4 dollars a day does not excite me very much so it is time to experiment.
I am at about 200,000+ difficulty 1 shares so far with no block found. So that is about 4.5 days worth
of mining with nothing to show for it. Mining at deepbit would have made about 5-6 BTC or so which is about
12-14 bucks.
I have a long ways to go to reach a million diff 1 shares. So I need to just have patience. I will probably run
this until I hit 2 million and if I do not find anything break down the rigs and sell them.
I will update this thread every once in a while with my results. I have a feeling everyone sorta wishes they
could run solo but the steady money of a pool is to enticing. Well you can live through me I suppose via
this thread.
+1 to your last statement. Just popping in so I can watch for your updates.
Cheers

I have been thinkin of goin solo with 2.4 gh/s. Put it this way. Diff is dropping. Mining at a pool for a month will get 30x1.5btc is 45btc. Or i can mine solo for a month and hope for a block of 50. Rough math here but it almost seems close to taking the risk now.
Well it makes more sense w/ 2.4 GH but I have 5x that and wouldn't consider solo mining UNLESS you have free electricity.
The variance is brutal
With 2.4 GH the chance you won't find even a single block
30 days - 50%
60 days - 25%
90 days - 13%
120 days - 6%
150 days - 3%
180 days - 2%
210 days - 1%
Your power costs are static and very much guaranteed. Now 1% is pretty low but it isn't die in a car crash or get struck by lightning low. It is just "I can't believe I racked up massive power bills and wasted 7 months of my life with not even a bitcent to show for it low".
If I were you and planning on going solo I would think about buying another rig. Personally I would want 20Gh/s (30 would be better) before going solo.
well i configured everything to solo mine today. i will leave it running and keep an eye on it for
24 hours.
I am at the point with BTC at 2.25ish... Making less then 3.50 a day.. might as well mine solo and hope for
a bigger payoff in 30 days or less.
More then likely it is time to wind down the miners and sell the stuff on ebay before it loses another 20%
of it's value.

I meant what cards and how much hashing rate, how many blocks you have found etc.
I found 0 blocks with 50Gh/s

I had tried with 3x 6970s for a week before giving up. I guess you need a lot of patience and plenty of luck. Both of which I am lacking

If you have to ask you probably shouldn't be solo mining.
I wanted to setup this thread for people who are strictly solo mining. If you could share your solo setup and how you have done so far. Please no one who wants to make comments on why you shouldn't be solo mining.
