hi, you have probably missed the "solomine" in my message, right? Wink
i switch to solomine in the wallet mining tab, select gpus and start mining, after 12 hrs there is several accepted shares, which means i have found some blocks, but there is no rewards for those blocks.
how sad...

nvm i have switched to pool now until this is solved.

Yes, I did! I think I know the issue, you need to put 'usepok=0' in your config file. Your GPUs were probably mining with work with the PoK bit set, but doing work without PoK (proof of knowledge).

so, with usepok=0 the solomining works.
maybe i got that switch wrong.
can someone please explain to me what it really does and when i should use it? Smiley


I've written up a post about this on reddit, so I'll refer you to that Wink

The TL;DR is that you can mine while proving knowledge of the transactions that you are mining to get a 5% higher reward. As wolf0 pointed out, though, no miners currently support mining with PoK on (except for the CPU QT wallet miner, which is really slow).

hope they will soon introduce new ccminer with PoK Smiley
