I have been trying to solo mine and wonder if my problem was with RPCport. Is the RPCport supposed to be copied from a Coins Announcement or can I make it up and use 9332 etc.
Generally it's taken from the announcement but i think you can use any port that isnt used for anything else so long as it is in the .conf file. I use BFGMiner so my miner shortcut target would look like this, again these are examples
\bfgminer.exe -o 127.0.0.1:88989 -u user -p password -S antminer:all
and my .conf looks like this
rpcuser=user
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=88989
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
daemon=1
listen=1
generate=0
