Your tone to my volunteering and helping people get started with solo mining is not too nice, I have to say.
Than i own you a BIG apology, not just words but i really mean that.
Your observations (solo vs pool) helped me a lot, and hopefully the rest of the community!
But i am still a newbie, and spend a lot of time just copying configs of bitcointalk hoping for results, just to fail. The only reason i replyed those comments where to get a solo mining config online so more people can follow your advice without having to debug.
Apology accepted.
Most of the time you cannot copy/paste information, but fill in your own values. For example there are routers that have IP 192.168.1.1, 192.168.2.1, ... I thought that was clear, but I see your point.
