I'm not sure of the specifics of running a solo node, but you should be able to point cgminer at your local for work generation. I tend to solo using a solo pool (like kano's solo) but I know mining entirely to a local node is possible.

Instead of looking specifically for information for this miner, look up information for cgminer in general and go from there.

There's a good thread here for setting up a solo bitcoin node.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5415335.0

Though I don't think Kano has imported the modifications required to his branch of CGMiner to allow it to mine to Bitcoind directly.

I had to mod Kano's CGMiner 4.12.1 with the changes from https://github.com/cmmodtools/cgminer to make it work.

So its not straight forward unfortunately.


Using stock CGMiner from Kano https://github.com/kanoi/cgminer/ with a solo pool is far easier for the novice and that would be my preferred route too after finding out the effort required to set-up a local bitcoind node.





Fair enough, was told to run umbrel - but have concerns around security and research done on net. Cittadel is another example, as not many people have done this, was up for a challange, if cannot be done then i mine to a pool, not a issue.
