I am mining with a GAWminers black widow, which is just a rebranded zeusminer, and can solo just fine with the zencontroller they include. I don't know why I am feeling the need to point this out, as it just confirms what you already know which is that it's not the hardware at fault. Just wish I knew what was hashing away underneath that zenOS skin so I could help.

its highly likely a modded cgminer that actually does work, if i remember rightly CG doesnt cut the system off after 60 secs without a share, but i may try and nab a rip of that zen software and see what its doing, if its just a pi/beagle i can make one easily

Just setup your own stratum. It's really simple

yep, it just crashes the second it starts up sadly, BFG is most successful so far it works fine for pool mining but it just wont solo, i also tried --cmd-idle wait in the hope it wouldnt give the "No shares for 60 seconds declaring sick" bit i think itll come down to me having to mod the bfgminer code, but as yet i cant find the sources for the bfg tweaked for zeus (standard bfg doesnt seem to support it yet)

I have no idea, but have you tried using the patched cgminer for this purpose?

i tried to setup solo mining of a fairly easy coin (Dnotes) but as with any solo mining you only see submitted shares when you actually find a block, the BFGminer thats modded for zeus compatibility starts but when it hasnt found a block for 60 seconds it disables the unit, so basically as it stands i cant find a way you could solo mine with a zeus, not unless youre super lucky and manage to find at least one block per second.

so does anyone know how to turn this very annoying feature off?
