Well, wish I could figure out what is wrong with my solo mining.  I joined the nitro pool and found my first block pretty fast. Running about 1000 kh/s didn't find one all day.... Saw the blocks being found, the changing difficulty etc all in cgminer just never found a block with my setup parameters so I am guessing I was doing something wrong.

Also I normally would have about 1800 kh/s but assume using the ultracoin miner that is going to be lower no matter what settings I have for the cards themselves.

When I was attempting to solo mine my bat files would be similar to this ( changed them many times )

setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
del *.bin
ultracoinminer.exe --scrypt-jane -o 127.0.0.1:44101 -u xxxxxxx -p xxxxxxxx --sj-nfmin 4 --sj-nfmax 30 --sj-time 1388361600 --intensity 15 --gpu-powertune 20 --worksize 256 --expiry 1 --queue 0 --scan-time 1

And my Ultracoin.conf file ( that I put in the Ultracoin folder in the appdata area ) was this

rpcuser=xxxxxxx
rpcpassword=xxxxxxxx
rpcport=44101
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
daemon=1
server=1
listen=1

I was starting the Ultracoin wallet .... then would go to the debug and do that command setgenerate true, then starting my bat file.

( I just xxxxxxx'd out the info but yes the user/pass was correct )

I am so new to solo mining so am sure I could tweak it a lot... the above bat was for a 7990 card single...  Wasn't too worried about getting it as  efficient as possible as I was to just getting it to work and accept one block to know I had it setup right.   So hard to tell if you are actually mining in cgminer... was getting best share etc.. so figured it was working on some level...

If anyone can point out where I went wrong would be appreciated.  ( Would love to know for going forward on other solo mining coins as well,  I did find like 5 swag blocks after changing my conf files, bat files etc.. so at one point I almost knew what I was doing on swag coin the other day. )

Thanks in advance...



Hi chunky. Your settings look fine, I believe it was bad luck to be honest. Try out some of the other pools available and see your luck. Our pool is finding blocks quickly with our current hash rate. Check our block percentages. http://ultra.leetpools.com
