Help Using Cgwatcher to mine solo
« on: January 28, 2014, 06:05:22 PM »
Hi all..

 I am new to this, so my apologies if I am asking something that has already been gone over somewhere else.  I am trying to set up solo mining using cgminer and chwatcher.  I think that I set up the settings in Cgwatcher, and it configures Cgminer for me.  Every sample file I've seen has to do with pool mining, can someone help me get set up for solo mining?

I'll paste you some example configurations.
 
You need to create a fastcoin.conf in your %appdata%/fastcoin folder

fastcoin.conf example:

And a cgminer example for solo mining with P2Pool added for longpoll support.

Hi m0gliE

Thankx for your quick reply.  Ok, I have created the .conf file as per your instructions.  Now as for the CGWatcher thing, where do I cut & paste:

pause
echo off
cd\
c:
cd "Program Files\cgminer-3.3.1-windows"
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 99
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1
cgminer.exe --scrypt -s 1 -o 127.0.0.1:9527 -u fastcoin -p fastcoin -o fst.inetrader.com:5150 -u fkdq2y7yo8G4hwnvJwbpPLfAVzTgHnshMY+0.00055821 -p 123 --intensity 12
pause

Do I put the above into the "miner arguments" box, or do I create a file with this?  Also, do I need to change anything? I really do appreciate your help.

For CGWatcher, you'll need to go into your settings and define the config. (File, New, create new config, although, the above may not be exactly what you need but it should be close. You may need to refer to the CGWatcher thread for some more examples.

You could also create the batch file as I posted above and edit in your details and then just point CGWatcher to the batch file instead of cgminer.exe.

Thanks for your help, I've finally gotten my gear up and running.  One question, though... I've got both cards maxed out at 20 intensity, getting about 1.7mhash/sec, been mining 36 hours, and solved only 3 blocks.  Is this normal?

Did lowering your intensity help?
