Solo Mining up and running, block solved, no payout :(
« on: December 02, 2013, 09:30:19 AM »
So I got cgminer up and running from command line and went to bed.  when I woke up I had 1 block solved but no payout.  Wallet was open and is the most recent update.  My wallet says Number of transactions: 1   but there is no payout and no history under the transaction tab.

In goldcoin client, go help > debug window > console and type listtransactions. Most likely you got an orphan block.

Yep.  Orphaned block.   :-\

I actually had 2 solved blocks.  The other was a reject.

If i'm understanding this correctly a reject is when another person finds a block at the exact same time as you but submits it to the network first. 

Also, from what I've read, rejects tend to be greater solo mining because the default setting of cgminer is only looking for new getwork every 60 seconds.   So, theoretically it's possible that the current work your rig is hashing has already been done for the last 60 seconds and just doesn't know about it yet.   This is not good lol.     

There's also the message "no long polling available".   Not sure exactly what a long poll is but it has something to do with pools and I think keeps the entire pool "current" for what work it's doing.

  I believe there is a parameter available for cgminer to change the timeframe on the getwork setting.  Looking into that now.  However, I believe there is a better solution as per this conversation from another forum discussing this subject:

http://forum.feathercoin.com/index.php?topic=1181.0

"There shouldn't be any need to change the wallet setting or to create your own pushpool. When solo-mining I recommend adding a p2pool with stratum as a backup pool. This way, your miner will be notified of any new blocks very quickly, so you won't still be mining an old block."

If someone could explain what this means exactly and how to accomplish it that would be awesome.

It's been awhile, but I used the following for all solo mining and would adjust the number of seconds to match the current average block time. Contrary to popular belief, you can use any port number you want because I never changed it between coins. Obviously, you have to change the ip address to match the ip of the wallet computer. The following settings were for the first days of GLD because the number of seconds is 2:
(cards are 7970s)
-------------------------------------------------------
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
CLS
