SOLO-MINE JoinCoin--
I set up solo-mining for JoinCoin.  My GTX 960 gets about 29.9Mh/s with standard PentaBlake ("penta" algo).  Currently, JoinCoin has a block reward of 2 coins, and a difficulty of ~300 for PentaBlake.  If I get any coins in the next few hours, I'll report back.

EDIT:
While I was typing, I got this:

I will try a while longer.       --scryptr

What does your config look like. Are you sure you have set it to mine penta? Since joincoin is a multi-algo coin, you need to specify the algo in the config file.


This pool works, I mined 120coins in less than 24 hours some days ago with one single 6x 750ti rig.

==========cut line==========

The algo "pentablake" is spelled out completely as per the JoinCoin OP.  My mining configuration follows:

==========cut line===========
{
   "url" : "127.0.0.1:9150",
   "user" : "yourname",
   "pass" : "x",
   "algo" : "penta",
   "intensity" : 20,
   "cpu-mining" : true,
   "cpu-priority" : 5,
   
   "quiet" : false,
   "debug" : false
}
==========cut line===========

My solo-join.conf (above) is called with this batch file:

==========cut line===========
:loop

C:\work\mine\spminer\ccminer.exe -c solo-join.conf

pause
goto loop
==========cut line===========

I am goiing to try whirlpool next.       --scryptr

EDIT:

WHIRLPOOL SUCCESS--

I changed the algo in my solomining configuration to whirlpool (the default JoinCoin algo) and it worked!

      -snip-

--scryptr

Very helpful, some what. Could you make all the corrections in all the right spots above like "whirlpoolx" so it will help others better.

Thanks

Got it working I think after much trail & error. Also not sure if I have the correct algo=xxxxxx in the wallet conf
or is that even really needed in the wallet.conf? Think I still have something incorrectly configured because mine
is showing 12xxxx like your 960 when it got nooo's. Yours is showing 92xx when it found good blocks.



WHIRLPOOL--

JoinCoin uses Whirlpool, not Whirlpoolx.  Spell out "whirlpool" completely in the wallet configuration file.  Type "algo" : "whirl" in the mining configuration file, or "-a whirl" on the launch line.  The Opening Page (OP) for JoinCoin states the Whirlpool is the default wallet algo, so you perhaps could skip it in the wallet configuration.  I did not.

My first attempt was with pentablake algo.  I do not know why it did not work.  Pentablake was very new at the launch for JoinCoin.  I only changed the algo configurations between the two attempts.  My GTX 960 runs at full speed (currently) mining Lyra2v2 and Quark.        --scryptr

P.S.  I now have 2 JoinCoins.     --scryptr
