With the current DIFF, has anyone here found a Litecoin block mining solo?
Hi guys, I have a problem: when the guide says to start "litecoin-qt.exe - server". There is an error that says...
(If there are any problems with the image, you can see it HERE
What can I do to resolve this problem?
Thanks in advance!

Good luck
Thanks, its useful.
100 days to get a block. If you have 1.9 MH/s.
Hello! Could you please provide info how to calculate that? I mean how much hash rate I need to catch a blockchain.
Enter your details into the corresponding fields. It shows the profit/loss as well as the expected time to find a block with your hashrate.

I've used a combination of this article http://www.speaktothegeek.co.uk/oliblog/2014/03/01/solo-mining-with-minepeon/comment-page-1/#comment-906455 and this forum thread to try and set up a solo litecoin mining rig on a raspberry pi using minepeon.
I can't manage to get it to work!
I've got this litecoin.config file in AppData/Roaming
server=1
rpcuser=Node1
rpcpassword=xxxxxxxxxxxxx
rpctimeout=30
rpcallowip=xxx.xxx.x.xxx
rpcport=8332
But when I try to test the connection in PuTTy using 'telnet xxx.xxx.x.xxx 8332' I get 'telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused'
Anyone have any insight on a solution?

you need to enter a correct length user/password
Certainly, just point them to the same wallet computer 
and are they automatically working together efficiently? what i mean by efficient is that they arent going to solve the crypto that the other machines already inputted?say i have 4 machines (1 machine have 3x7950?), and all of them know each other crypto that they tried?? #1 tried aaa, and #2 bbb , and #3 is ccc, therefore #4 wont solve aaa/bbb/ccc rite? it will solve abc or ddd or cba
Basically, the wallet will send different work to each miner.
If the wallet sends out different work to each miner, then the pool with more miners will be better than smaller pools? For solo mining with 4 wallets/miners, it is worse than solo mining with just one wallet but 4 miners? As the later does not do the same work on each miner.
I'm trying to solo mine a new scrypt coin but GUIminer keeps saying it can't find the server and CGminer crashes right away. I'm just using 1 computer to mine with my GPU. maybe someone can point out what i'm doing wrong.
Here's my .conf
rpcuser=glm
rpcpassword=kun1
rpcallowip=192.168.0.197
rpcport=20889
daemon=1
server=1
gen=0
and my cgminer settings
cgminer.exe --scrpyt --device 0 -I 18 -g 1 --thread-concurrency 5600 -o http://192.168.0.197:20889 -u glm -p kun1
Here's my .conf
rpcuser=glm
rpcpassword=kun1
rpcallowip=192.168.0.197
rpcport=20889
daemon=1
server=1
gen=0
and my cgminer settings
cgminer.exe --scrpyt --device 0 -I 18 -g 1 --thread-concurrency 5600 -o http://192.168.0.197:20889 -u glm -p kun1
I think it should be like this:
cgminer.exe --scrpyt --device 0 -I 18 -g 1 --thread-concurrency 5600 -o http://localhost:20889 -u glm -p kun1
well now its saying credentials invalid so i'm still stuck

I started solo mining today with 6.3MHZ. I use 4 computers.
Started this morning on 10.00AM. Now it's 12.00PM and the last update is still: " No suitable long-poll found". So i have not any updates with "block detected" or something. Is this normal?

Getting an error 500, what needs to be changed in my modem?
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
sorry for being so derpy, but what should i put here, what username and pw? ip, my home address?
rpcpassword=password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1

rpcuser and rpcpassword is just the usernam/password you have to put into cgminer to be able to connect to the litecoin qt app. just make something up=)
rpcallowip here you can put either 127.0.0.1 or localhost (both points back to the computer your running litecoin qt app/config file from)
if you have several computers you need to add an extra rpcallowip for each of them containing their ip adress.
For example my config looks like this:
dissregards the () content
rpcuser=fuzzy
rpcpassword=xxxxx
rpcallowip=192.168.0.2 (same as 127.0.0.1 since its the ip of my main computer)
rpcallowip=192.168.0.9 (computer2)
rpcallowip=192.168.0.14 (computer3)
rpcallowip=192.168.0.21 (computer 4)
rpcport=9332 (which port to connect to, be sure that this port is open for the computers to connect to the main computer)
daemon=1
server=1
gen=0
block_nTime=1317972665
block_nNonce=2084524493
What would the .conf file look like on 'computer 2'?
hello
Looking for a more in depth explanation of what these do exactly and if I need them for solo-mining:
#from https://litecoin.info/Litecoin.conf
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1 #Allow JSON-RPC connections from specified IP address, By default, only RPC connections from localhost are allowed.
(if default allows localhost and 127.0.0.1 is localhost why is this entry needed?
listen=1 #Accept connections from outside (needed to solo? I wouldn't think so based on that definition)
daemon=1 #nothing on the wiki
server=1 #Accept command line and JSON-RPC commands (wut?)
Also, do you really need the -server on the .exe it seems to work fine without it (using cudaminer)
Thank you

I just turn one of my litecoin miner into solo miner. How long does it take to see some litecoin in my wallet? My rig is running around 1.9mgh/s
After trying this guide and getting confused i found this guide below seem to work better for me.

Hi Guys,
I'm a newbie and I need help with Solo mining
(having a hash rate of 1.3-1.5 mHashes/s , I know its not much but at this point just trying to establish proof of concept for Solo mining before investing in more serious hardware)
I followed all the steps in this guide but when I run CGMiner this is the error :
"Started cgminer 3.7.2"
"Probing for an alive pool"
"Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid"
rpcuser=*user*
rpcpassword=*pass*
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.*.*
rpcport=9332
daemon=1
server=1
gen=0
block_nTime=1317972665
block_nNonce=2084524493
My user/pass in both Conf and miner are the same, I'm just not quietly sure if I'm using right IP number
I also tried earlier versions of CGMiner still to no avail
Your help is greatly appreciated

Is your litecoin-qt client up to date? It won't work if it isn't fully synced with the network. Did you leave the client running? Are you connecting to localhost:9332 on your main system?
Hi Mate,
Thanks for your reply,
client is fully synced, and I'm connecting to 127.0.0.1:9332,
Cant really figure out what could be the issue,
Not quite sure though if Im using the right localhost (I'm using 127.0.0.1, do I need to use my I Pv4 address i.e. 192.168.... )
Thanks for your help mate
Cheers
