PLEASE NOTE:
Blake256 pool at unitus.blake256.com is offline while we work on a block submission issue.
Blake256 merge mining is not running at shares.blake256.com due to the same issue.

** You can still mine this coin solo!!! **

I am mining solo on a single 7970 (2GH/s) and get a block every hour or so.

Create a unitus.conf file in your blockchain directory, and add the following:

Code:

rpcuser=username
rpcpassword=password
rpcport=10000
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
server=1
daemon=1

Obviously change your user/pass, port does not matter- choose one available on your system.

Save this file, and reopen your wallet. Then setup cgminer to connect to your local machine, address is simply 127.0.0.1:10000 (or whichever port you chose)

At this time, we are not 100% sure why blocks are not confirming when submitted through pool software, be it Eloipool+MMP or NOMP. It seems p2pool development had been in progress but was abandoned.

While mining normally, the following is encountered when a block is submitted:

Code:

ERROR: CheckBlock() : hashMerkleRoot mismatch

When merge mining, the following is encountered when a block is submitted:

Code:

ERROR: Aux POW merkle root incorrect

This may be caused by the Blake256 algorithm pools expect encoding the hash and the block with the PoW algorithm (blake), while Unitus does hashing with PoW (blake) but the block is SHA. However, this is the configuration of X11, and it functions normally.

The Blakecoin/Photoncoin/etc developers have already made it perfectly clear they will not assist in this matter, so myself and the Unitus dev are working on this issue as we can. Community input is welcome.

Can you share your config on solo mining? I'm having a "pool 0 slow/down or url or credentials invalid" problem.. I've followed your guide, I'm using cgminer 3.7.2 with Blake-256 support. TIA

If your miner is on a different physical machine to your wallet you may need to add an additional rpcallowip line for the miner's ip in unitus.conf

I'm mining with same PC using GPU's.. My config
cgminer.exe -o http://127.0.0.1:50603 -u unitus -p x -w 256 -g 2 --gpu-engine 1150 --gpu-memclock 1500 -I 12

What are the contents (user/password obfuscated) and what's the location of your unitus.conf file?
