Topic: [TUTORIAL] Solo Mining Litecoins Guide--Windows! - page 3. (Read 306141 times)

Is there a way/tutorial for pool mining litecoin on linux server using Digitalocean?

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 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

I also have a tutorial for mining Litecoins in any way possible - http://cryptocoininfo.blogspot.com.es/2013/11/how-to-mine-litecoins.html

Need some help here. I am getting rejected shares way above the currently diff on litecoin and been hitting 2k 3k 4k 6k and even some 8k shares. all going to rejected. I followed your guide to the Ts an Is lol

Is theri anything that could be stopping me from getting Accepted ie locked Wallet or shouldent make any difference?

Hi all,

I have been reading this thread and I have the same (newbie?) question as Italo Hanzer: my Litecoin-Qt (0.6.9.2) does not have a "MINING" tab. I read that this was removed by the developers due to solo/cpu mining becoming harder but does it mean that the procedure described in the first post by Vorksholk does not work any more, or only not on that version, or something else? Further complication, the mandatory upgrade to 0.8.x
I ask because I left my rig "solo mining" for the weekend and on monday morning cgminer had A:1 but the coins were never added to my wallet...

Does solo mining still profitable at the current difficulty and network hashrate?

You can do either.

I want to solo mine with 10 miners on a home network. Do I need to leach a longpoll from someone's pool on each miner, or just the miner hosting my coin wallet 
TIA

I got a few successful shares but I also had one invalid share reported...how did i get an invalid share?!

First, sorry about my english....


I did config my Litecoin-Qt v0.6.9.2 BETA to miner solo with this config like first page:

"
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=pass
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=200.0.0.*
rpcallowip=*
rpcport=9332
daemon=1
server=1
gen=0

block_nTime=1317972665
block_nNonce=2084524493
"

It's running since yesterday.

Just, I doubt if is really minning or just running the software (cgminer and litecoin-qt), the only thing witch let me think is minning is the graphic cards are really working (7950 - 490kh/s and 7850 - 316kh/s), but searching in google I have seen pictures about earlier versions of Litecoi-Qt with a icon like tools to minner meaning software is REALLY mining solo, icon placed right down side, next to icon Active Connection (my connections is Always high, 50+, since yesterday) but in my Liteconi-Qt don't have this icon or even MINING tab, I don't know if is because my software is Beta(0.6.9.2) and so... I'm is in doubt about is really minning.


I remember also that someones says who your softwares show the message: "Solo mining started" in console screen or miner software (my is cgminer).


I also noticed that tutorial command is used GEN=0, in my console come Always saying who SET and GET commands related to coin generation are disabled. and This one -gen (gen=0 used in conf file) say is to generate coins, so that must be GEN=1, or not?!

Messages in help contexto by console:
The getgenerate command has been disabled.
The setgenerate command has been disabled.



While still graphics card running the only thing showing is message about Current Diff and about new blocks founds, just to information, I put 3 desktops in other place minning with CPU just testing, they is connecteds through internet out my lan network, and its say that same message, new block found and Current Diff.


Am I really mining?
I'm really mining for? (just testing my english, sorry )

I guess I shouldve been more specific as well Im using GUIMiner scrypt

Great guide especially for someone new to this, Im set up but getting more stales than I should while solo mining (5 or so since last night) with my hash rate just under 600khash/s. I read that it had something to do with long polling since I was seeing this "No suitable long-poll found for http://127.0.0.1:9332", so I set up a backup to my coinotron acct which I read somewhere else should solve this.

Im seeing the following and was wondering is all well with my setup?




EDIT: I have a verbose flag set to see all messages for now.

So what does it show if you found a block solo? How will you know and how will it be deposited into your wallet?
Curious to know that!

Yes, I installed the wallet last week.

Are you on the most current wallet?
It should take you a month to find a block.  Try my pool, we have found a block in only a few hrs of mining with only 3Mhash.  http://ltc.allpoolz.com

I think my set up is having some problems, I got 800kHash/s and just started solo mining, its been like 6 hours and says 2accepted/3stale on one card and 0 accepted/5 stales on the other. My wallet hasn't received anything so I'm assuming this is an error. I'm using GUIMiner-scrypt of CGMiner so don't have much information to go on. But do you know what I could be doing wrong?

anyway i setup a solo with cgminer in a much easy way

write this in the litecoin config

rpcuser=yourusername
rpcpassword=yourpass
server=1

start litecoin client with -server in the shortcut
start now cgminer with a bat file with "cgminer.exe -o http://127.0.0.1:9332 -u yourusername -p yourpass --scrypt --intensity 13 --gpu-threads 2 --worksize 256 --thread-concurrency 8192"

your done

the "No suitable long-pool found" , i read that this mean, some work on block can be re-done, or something like that, it is a thing to worry about?

About 15 Days with lots of luck
