How to do it:
1) Get Bitcoin wallet https://bitcoin.org/en/download
2) Run Bitcoin wallet app: "bitcoin-qt.exe -rpcuser=username -rpcpassword=password -server -listen" and wait for the BTC blockchain go through (this takes serious time)
3) Get cgminer from v3.12.3 or later (this version has official support for AntMiner U1) http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/
4) Run bitcoin mining software "cgminer.exe -o 127.0.0.1:8332 -u username -p password" and it will automatically start to mine with the U1 (ANU 0)

You might want to try solo mining just some random Alt SHA-256 coins too, I do that some with just one of my miners and every now and then I do get a block, if you watch the random difficulty on some coins you can really up your chances of getting lucky too.  I know what you mean when mining for fun solo, feels good to get your own block knowing your the only one that made it happen  Grin

When turning on some more verbose output in cgminer you seem to get a lot of these messages:


[2014-02-16 14:37:00] ANU 0: Share above target


Any understanding of what that is about? It seems that Internets are very brief/not enlightening on this particular topic.

Best share 54.3K today, while 13K yesterday (you got it right, I just mine for fun with the computer while it is turned on).

I would absolutely encourage small miners to solo mine if they are doing it as a hobby. As someone said earlier, it is much better than playing the lottery.

I keep seeing threads that discourage people from soloming.

"I am not doing it for profit. why do you care?"

Friend, there is no point. Yet, neither does it matter whether there is or not. If one would dig further, you could say something on the line of "because you can".

And the point in trying this? Without some serious Terrahashes, it's not worth it to even try to solo mine.

Its better then the lottery! You may never get a block, but if you do...
