I solo mine altcoins and i only have one gtx970 the coins i have succesfully mined are Phoenix, Halcyon, Orbitz, UFO, guncoin hopes this helps if u need any help setting up to try it let me know if i can help in any way and ill try to get u running.solo mining is great there is nothing like finding your first block and seeing that little pic on your wallet makes pool mining seen so bunk but at the same time can also be a complete waste of time

I'm trying to do exactly what you've done, solo mine several altcoins. I don't expect it to be highly profitable but it looks like fun.

I have some really basic questions:

Is there one piece of software that mines all or many of these coins?
Or does each coin have it's own specific software to use for mining?

From reading I'm getting the impression that the same software (miner) can mine different coins, and I just use different ports.

If that's so, what miner do you use? I'm on Windows 10 but I can change the OS if it's better.

If you could generally walk me through the process or point me to a site that explains it, I'd appreciate it.

ok first sorry for not getting back to you sooner and let me see if i can help so basically to answer the first question like the other guy said ccminer works for most everything besides ethash and eqihash algorithims the version i use personally is ccminer-x64-2.2.4-cuda9 because i had problems getting some of the others to work but that one has been solid for me the only time i use a different program is when i use nsgminer-win64-0.9.4 to mine ufo because something about its core makes it not work with ccminer i have used it to mine some of the samew coins i mine with ccminer but i swear it seems like i never find blocks using this program with the exception of the 2 ufo blocks i hit 40 minutes apart the first time i tried it but havent hit nothing since
first of you have to make a conf file in the coins folder located in C:\Users\yourpcname\AppData\Roaming so say for phoenixcoin i use this right here just make new text file in folder paste this

rpcuser =mat420 (change this to your username same as used in the bat to launch)
rpcpassword = x
rpcallowip = 127.0.0.1
rpcallowip = localhost
rpcport = 9554
daemon = 1
server = 1
gen = 0
maxconnections = 64
dns = 1
checkpoints = 1
listen = 1
dnsseed = 1
banscore = 50
bantime = 14400
addnode=prometheus.phoenixcoin.org:9555
addnode=menoetius.phoenixcoin.org:9555
addnode=atlas.phoenixcoin.org:9555

then rename the txt phoenixcoin.conf
now for the bat this is what i use
add a new txt file in the miner folder that u use and copy this changing the username to exactly what u used in conf file same with password then rename pxc_solo.bat or something u choose

setx GPU_FORCE_64BIT_PTR 0
setx GPU_MAX_HEAP_SIZE 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_SINGLE_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
ccminer-x64.exe -a neoscrypt -i 22 -o http://127.0.0.1:9554 -u mat420 -p x

assuming you were using same ccminer as me and this is for nvidia cards i basically use this as a template for anything im trying to solo mine changing the algo if nessasary and the rpcport to match what is used and matches what is in the conf for nsgminer this is my bat

nsgminer --neoscrypt -w 128 -I 18 -o http://127.0.0.1:9554 -u mat420 -p x --no-getwork --no-stratum --verbose --text-only --coinbase-addr your coin address

that would be to mine phoenix with it this is also on windows 10 and technically poenixcoin.conf file is in the same folder as the qt but normally it is where i said first and this should go without saying you need the qt running and the blockchain fully sync before u can solo mine
and if this helped you out feel free to tip me a beer if not no worries
