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
Is it even worth solo mining with say 4Gh? I'm getting about 10K SIA/day on Nanopool.
A BLOCK OF SIA IS WORTH A CHUNK--
I guess we are in the same league in mining capacity. I mine at NanoPool, I just switched my nVidia 980ti off Library Credits (LBC) and onto SiaCoin (SC), and at 1.6 GH/s it beats 4X 280X cards mining Sia with Claymore's miner. 300K SC, the current block size for SC, is worth near 1/3 BitCoin. A miner might get lucky and hit it quick, but theoretically, over time the amount of SC mined is about the same, except for pool fees.
Thae GoMiner is really good on nVidia. Four 280X cards mining SC with Claymore's miner at standard intensity get about 1.2MH/s, not as fast as 1 980ti mining with GoMiner at "-i 29". When I first opened a Sia wallet, I solo-mined overnight. I didn't hit a block, but the communication was really smooth on a single machine, and without a fancy wallet configuration. Sia wallet accepts solo-mining by default. I didn't hit a block, and I didn't win that big MegaMillions lottery prize that week, either. --scryptr
