Is it only me or others also constantly getting messages about testing pool on solo mining?
One more issue to mention, 4.10.0 does not write config file and does not load working in v.4.9.2 (and pretty trivial one) config file.
Don't know if related, but the parameter --fix-protocol seems to prevent switching from gbt to stratum if the http server offers both.
Regarding the other issues: don't know, haven't tried yet; I'm passing all parameters via commandline (actually in a batch script file).
Thanks for the reply. Do I need to upgrade the miner to 4.10.0 at all to mine a segwit blocks? The backend is bitcoin core 0.14.2.
No. Current cgminer is segwit compatible.
Hi -ck,
I see the release notes for 4.10.0 regarding the segwit support, but it has memory leak in windows build in solo mode and I would prefer 4.9.2 to continue to use.
Theoretically, segwit could be implemented totally in bitcoin core, under the RPC calls so that the miner software would not need any changes to support it. My question (and my setup in general) is for learning purposes mainly.
So do I get correctly, that cgminer 4.9.2 does not have (requiring) segwit support and blocks found would be discarded now?
Many thanks.
