So... to start solo mining when the windows wallet comes out, I have to:
- run it with "--server" command
- set the rpcallowip in the .conf file to "localhost"
- set username and password
- set up cgminer to use these settings
Is this all I need to do? I'm new to solo mining and I would be grateful if somebody could confirm/correct that. Thanks is advance!
Also, what port should I use?
yep. You can also use 127.0.0.1 instead of local host. both work though.
Make sure you set the rpcport in the conf file and the cgminer bat file.
