Quote from: cereal7802 on October 11, 2013, 01:31:34 PM

here is what i have setup for do solo.

bitcoin.conf

Code:

server=1
rpcuser=USRNAME
rpcpassword=RANDOMPASSWORD
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=8332

Then for bfgminer i have my bitcoind address (localhost in this example) with the username and password in the bitcoin.conf. seems to work...

Hi guys,

I have done everything as you describe above, but my bitcoin-qt refuses to start up in server mode as it will not accept any rpcpassword at all.

My bfgminer bat is:

bfgminer.exe -o 127.0.0.1:8332 -u USRNAME -p RANDOMPASSWORD -S antminer:all --set-device antminer:clock=x0981 --icarus-options 115200:2:2

My .conf file is as in the code in your post.

I keep getting a msg from wallet saying "It is recommended you use the following random password ....." and gives a very long random password as an example. (I would love to insert a jpeg of the screenshot, but do not know how to add it to the message).

I wonder if you can help.

Thanks
