I there anyway to add solo ming support back into the miner...
I get the following error when trying to solo mine small alt coins:
Empty data received in JSON-RPC call
get_work failed, retry after 30 seconds
unknown option -- coinbase-addr=
SET UP YOUR OWN POOL--
It is not too hard. I just set up an old NOMP-style pool on LOCALHOST. The code is deprecated, so opening it to the public may be risky. I bought a Moonlander 2 scrypt ASIC, and am mining with it as if it were an electronic lottery ticket. The Moonlander is like a thumb-drive sized ASIC, but faster than my 6x 750ti rig running CUDAminer back in the day (2014). It is running at about 4MH/s scrypt algorithm, and less than 10W.
There are several how-to pages for NOMP-style pools on the web. A couple for YIIMP-style pools, too. Many of them have typos and poor English. I think I will put my own "How-To" together and post it. I have some rig maintenance to take care of, though. As soon as I get a round 2it... --scryptr
