Mining & Pools / Re: Solo mining on a Mac
« on: November 08, 2013, 10:57:00 PM »Hey, solomining is traditionally inefficient however if you really want to do it the process is very similar to on windows.
In fact the commands are identical,
Here's a tutorial for the step by step setup of cgminer/bfgminer on OSX:
http://blog.nwoolls.com/2013/04/24/bitcoin-mining-on-mac-os-x-cgminer-bfgminer/
You can then change the commands to suit goldcoin,
rpcport=8122
http://127.0.0.1:8122 is what your miner needs to connect to.
Right on. Thanks for the tips. That was part of what I was missing.
I've seen that tutorial quite a few times. It was great for getting cgminer set up and running. However, the configuration of the solo aspect seemed to be unclear.
I'lll go ahead and post what I finally got to work.
----------------
Create file at /Users/[USER]/Library/Application Support/GoldCoin (GLD)
Named: goldcoin.conf
With contents:
rpcuser=solo
rpcpassword=x
server=1
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=8122
Then ran
./cgminer -o 127.0.0.1:8122 -u solo -p x -c /path/to/config/file.txt
My config file only has this for now:
{
"scrypt" : true,
"shaders":"460"
}
Hope this helps someone....

Mining & Pools / Solo mining on a Mac
« on: November 08, 2013, 09:50:55 PM »
So i'm interested in setting up solo mining (whether a good idea or not...) on a Mac and I have two questions:
1.) Does it work from the wallet client? It says started and gives me a hashrate on the icon at the bottom of the window, but nothing shows other than "[timestamp] Solo mining started"
2.) How do you set up cgminer to solo mine? I've seen tutorials Windows set ups, but not Mac.
Thanks
