I want to share some other discovery I made today:

In the last few days I was playing around with several other settings like --queue --expiry and --scan-time. And the more time passed, the less blocks my miners picked up. I tried all kinds of things to get it working again like resetting router, restarting rigs, ... I was about to give up when it occurred to me that the part of these settings might still have been stored and corrupted my mining settings. Then I remembered something you do when testing out new settings, to delete the "scrypt130511Tahitiglg2tc8192w256l4.bin" file in the cgminer folder.

No more than 10 minutes passed after deleting this file and my miners found already the first block again.

To make a long story short - if you play around with several settings and experience bad luck, try deleting this file - as this will reset and rebuild your proper mining settings.

Also, another tip:

If you add at least 2 --fallover-only -o stratum+tcp://pool.com:xxxx -u user -p password backup pools to your .bat file, you will increase your chances of finding a block while solo mining, as you will use the stratum's servers data to update your miner when a block gets found, so you are always working on the latest block. (And thus avoiding orphaned blocks.)

Could you please post your cgminer + earthcoin.conf settings? Cheesy

cgminer.exe --scrypt -o localhost:15678 -u user -p password --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://pool.com:xxxx -u user -p password --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://pool2.com:xxxx -u user -p password -I 13 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu-fan 30-85 --gpu-engine 1125 --gpu-memclock 1500 --no-submit-stale

Obviously substitute pool.com & pool2.com with popular stratum EAC pools. Right now I have 10 failover pools that feed data constantly to my miner.

Use localhost if wallet is on the same computer as miners. If you run miners off different computer use your IP: 192.168.1.xx:15678.

Thanks! Similar to what I had already setup, hopefully I will eventually find some blocks now...

Are you sure you are solo mining? looks to me this setup cannot be copied 1-1, local host will resolve to 127.0.0.1 on windows and the user/pass combi is different

user/pass combination needs to be adjusted for each one on their own. This is not my combination Wink

.

And as I explained, localhost is used if you are mining on the same computer as your open wallet. If you have more miners (rigs) you need to use your IP of the wallet computer on your mining rig computers. But otherwise, I use -o localhost:15678. (no need to add http:// or http://127.0.0.1)

Why can it not be copied? You obviously need to adjust certain settings with your own values: e.g. username, password, IP address of your router, fail-over pools.
So besides the *mistake* in username & password, this is my working configuration. -- To answer your question, yes I am solo mining.

Your tone to my volunteering and helping people get started with solo mining is not too nice, I have to say.
