problem trying to unlock wallet - says parse error
so how do I unlock to stake and trying solo with cgminer 4.5 - says no address ether but thats no big deal probly never find a block anyways so pool much better,
is there a bat file I should make to unlock wallet?

Hi Valta,

Unlocking the wallet for solo mining isn't difficult, but hard to find out!

The trick?
Open the 'console' of your wallet by opening the Help menu >>> debug screen >>> console
Then at the prompt type "Walletpassphrase Your_very_secure_password 900000 true"

900000 is the amount of seconds the wallet stays unlocked and ...
"true" means the wallet is unlocked ONLY for minting!  (but if that is entirely true .... ?)

* if you mine solo with your wallet locked a found block will be rejected ....   *

And solo mining is rewarding since difficulty isn't that high. With a 5 GHash hashrate you will find a block every 2 days on average, or something like that.
Thanks for the info and I have a Rock miner that does 32 GHASH average may get lucky then we hope if not just stick to pools, BFG miner solos fine.
