Here's a noob question that my google-foo doesn't seem to be able to help with. How in the heck (with any given coin) do you figure out what the main server/ports are to Solo mine? I would like to try this on a new coin for the first ~1-2 hrs, cause I like the lottery aspect of it! lol! That's how I got my first 96 Max Coins, and it was kind of a rush. Luckily somebody posted a how-to for max, and listed server/ports - but I never see these listed in the launch pages of the coins.
TIA!

The wallet runs a server (server=1 in conf file) on your computer (localhost or 127.0.0.1) or local network on the port you choose (rpcport=).
Now you can also check on which port it runs by default using the task manager and resource monitor.
I wanted to thank you (djm34) for taking the time to answer my question. Once I looked at the old maxcoin.conf file I figured it out. I had thought that I was missing something, because everytime I tried firing up my solo Max.bat, it wouldn't connect. But you got me to re-think that. Thank you! Been solo mining Helix since it started rolling. Haven't found anything yet, but that's a different story.
Again, Thanks!
