Hi, I am trying to solo mine SHA256 altcoins with my KNC Jupiter.   I have successfully solo mined scrypt, x11, NIST5 using my GPU, but haven't had any luck solo mining with my Jupiter.  I have mined altcoins using pools with the Jupiter.   I'm guessing that the KNC cgminer software is set up for stratum only and as such I can't connect it directly to my wallet.   The error I'm getting is:

"Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid"

So the basics:   I'm doing what I normally do when GPU solo mining.  So using the infamous mazacoin as an example. 

Step 1:  I have my mazacoin.conf file set up on my Windows 7 PC (IP 192.168.1.4)

rpcuser=user.1
rpcpassword=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.1.2
rpcallowip=192.168.1.4
rpcport=12832
port=12835
server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
addnode=70.52.108.12
addnode=208.107.133.151

Step 2:  I run mazacoin-qt.exe -s 

Step 3:  logging onto my KNC Jupiter (192.168.1.2)  I run cgminer -o 192.168.1.4:12832 - u user.1 - p 1

I immediately get the "Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid"  error

Do I need to run bfgminer as a stratum to wallet translator?   If so, how do I do that?  Or am I just doing something really stupid. 

Thanks!
