Hi,
I'm trying to solo mine on 2 Bitmain S9's, using BFGMiner.
Do we have to compile BFGMiner, or can we just use the exe provided ?
Cheers,
Dan
S9 isn't supported yet. Ask them to send me docs & sample.
In the meantime, you could run BFGMiner as a stratum proxy on another PC.
Hi Luke,
Thanks for the reply.
Forgive me, I don't fully understand the line, i.e. running BFGMiner as a stratum proxy on another PC.
My goal is to setup a miner with a full node; i.e. I want to be able to add my own transaction to the candidate block being worked on by the S9. (I also understand that the probability of finding a block that would include our added transaction is slim-to-none; I just want to do it - see it work..)
If it also means alottery ticket, on the side, then woohoo.
Is the S9 a pool-only device ?
Thanks,
Cheers!
Dan
P.S. It did work at one point :

PXY = Proxy
Same setup should work... What's your issue?
Encouraging...
S9 is offsite so I pointed the URL to
http://mynetwork.net:3333 and the backup to
stratum+tcp://mynetwork.net:3333
I opened port 3333 on mynetwork.net to allow 3333 traffic from the off-site's ip
On my pc, I run bitcoind with
txindex=1
server=1
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=USerpass1
rpcport=8332
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
gen=0
then run:
C:\bfgminer-5.4.2-win64\bfgminer-5.4.2-win64>bfgminer -o http://127.0.0.1:8332 -u username -p USerpass1 --stratum-port=3333 -S bitmain:auto --set btm:model=S9 --no-longpoll
and I get:

Then they get sick. During this time the 3rd backup (slushpool) shows degrading hashrates until zero - shows my pc does indeed take control of the miners...just no hashing..
