Hello all, new Solo Miner here testing my luck on solo.ckpool with some CompacF's I was able to snag a few weeks ago. I had a couple newbie questions/clarifications for you guys if you dont mind...

- I came across a post that mentioned cgminer may not support BECH addresses for solo mining, only p2pkh addreses, is this still the case? (I am currently using my "bc1" BECH address)

ckpool solo supports bech addresses

- Also want to confirm the - p (password) to be entered can be any random generated password and there is no need to enter this password in the cgminer backend?

Any random password will do. Don't understand the last part because the -p option is entering the password in cgminer so what backend are you talking about? the -p argument can be anything you want.

- If I wanted to occasionally rent some hash I would use the same pool address (cgminer -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u xxx.0 -p xxx) with possibly a different "xxx.worker" name ?

Use the same btc address as worker name but use a different port. For instance Nicehash requires a higher difficulty port so use port 4334 as mentioned in the topic start.

Thank You Gws24, appreciate the assistance. Regarding the Password, I see what you are saying about the -p argument entering this password in cgminer. My coding level is minimal at best and figured this was the case just wanted to make sure it did not need to be registered elsewhere. So far have seven CompacF's running and figure I throw some extra hash at it every once in a while. Thanks again!
