Hi, I am trying to solo mine SHA256 altcoins with my KNC Jupiter. I have successfully solo mined scrypt, x11, NIST5 using my GPU, but haven't had any luck solo mining with my Jupiter. I have mined altcoins using pools with the Jupiter. I'm guessing that the KNC cgminer software is set up for stratum only and as such I can't connect it directly to my wallet. The error I'm getting is:
"Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid"
So the basics: I'm doing what I normally do when GPU solo mining. So using the infamous mazacoin as an example.
Step 1: I have my mazacoin.conf file set up on my Windows 7 PC (IP 192.168.1.4)
rpcuser=user.1
rpcpassword=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcallowip=192.168.1.2
rpcallowip=192.168.1.4
rpcport=12832
port=12835
server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
addnode=70.52.108.12
addnode=208.107.133.151
Step 2: I run mazacoin-qt.exe -s
Step 3: logging onto my KNC Jupiter (192.168.1.2) I run cgminer -o 192.168.1.4:12832 - u user.1 - p 1
I immediately get the "Pool 0 slow/down or URL or credentials invalid" error
Do I need to run bfgminer as a stratum to wallet translator? If so, how do I do that? Or am I just doing something really stupid.
Thanks!
