I have been solo mining eth for a few days but would like to add sia as well. Can you solo mine eth and sia? I guess you need to mine sia through a pool, if so do you need to register with the pool or just add your details to the miner and start mining?

OK I found the info in the readme.

I would like to know what Sia application should be running? the sia miner? the alternate miner (A GPU miner for Sia in Go.) or just the wallet

SOLO-MINING SIA--

You need to run the Sia Wallet, and Claymore's miner.  Point Claymore's miner to "http://127.0.0.1:9980" if the Sia wallet is on the same machine as the miner.  The wallet needs to be fully synchronized, and it listens on port 9980 by default.  The Sia GoMinier works really well, but you don't nwant to run two miners on one computer.  You could run another miner on another computer in your LAN, and point it at the computer with the Sia wallet.  You'd need to know the LAN IP's and use them correctly.    --scryptr
