Does anyone know how the variable block reward is used? In the solo mining?

To use VBR, just modify the bitcoin.conf file:

#--------------bitcoin.conf-----------------
rpcport=9332
rpcuser=someuser
rpcpassword=somepass
listen=1
server=1
setvbrmultiplier=2
#---------------------------------

VBR needs to be a power of 2, 1,2,4,8,16
16 is the max value, right now since there hasn't been halving yet, the reward is 50 x 16 = 800 BTCV

Remember to restart the wallet or daemon for the VBR to go into effect.

The above applies to SOLO miners as well as pools. Pools could setup different ports that correspond to the different VBR values.

I put that in the configuration file but it doesn't work. Do I have to do it in a special pool? What username and password are they?

Are you mining to your wallet or are you mining to someone's pool? If you are mining to someones pool, they control the VBR, not you. Since all pools are using x1, You need to SOLO mine to get higher rewards. You can follow these directions to SOLO mine on Ubuntu: https://github.com/bitcoinVBR/node-stratum-pool
