I downloaded Bitcoin Core v27.1.0 and I'm all synced up. I added the following to the bitcoin.conf file:

server=1
rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=Password
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1


I also downloaded phaenomenon's 4.12.1 cgminer. I have a few GekkoScience Compac A1s on the way. Is this all I need to get going with solo mining to my local bitcoin core?  Are there any gotchas I'm not aware of?  I know I will never find a block, but I've always wanted to run a full node and solo mine. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks!
