Hey guys,

I'm trying to solo mine FC.

I've setup my feathercoin.conf file per guides, lauched feathercoin-qt as a server.

I run my cgminer with http://127.0.0.1:8100 with correct -u and -p, hashing at a reasonable rate.

Cgminer shows:

Probing for alive pool
No suitable long-poll found for http://127.0.0.1:8100
New block detected on network (and on and on)

My questions are:

*  Am I now solo mining?
* Do I need to see the "pool 0 alive http://127.0.0.1:8100" in cgminer or doesn't that matter when solo mining?
* Do I need to click on the "start mining" button in the feathercoin-qt mining window? Or can I ignore that completely and just launch cgminer?

Thanks in advance!
