+SOLO MINING
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+BFGMiner supports solo mining with any GBT-compatible bitcoin node (such as
|
|
|
+bitcoind). To use this mode, you need to specify the URL of your bitcoind node
|
|
|
+using the usual pool options (--url, --userpass, etc), and the --coinbase-addr
|
|
|
+option to specify the Bitcoin address you wish to receive the block rewards
|
|
|
+mined. If you are solo mining with more than one instance of BFGMiner (or any
|
|
|
+other software) per payout address, you must also specify data using the
|
|
|
+--coinbase-sig option to ensure each miner is working on unique work. Note
|
|
|
+that this data will be publicly seen if your miner finds a block using any
|
|
|
+GBT-enabled pool, even when not solo mining (such as failover). If your
|
|
|
+bitcoin node does not support longpolling (for example, bitcoind 0.7.x), you
|
|
|
+should consider setting up a failover pool to provide you with block
|
|
|
+notifications.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Example solo mining usage:
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+bfgminer -o http://localhost:8332 -u username -p password \
|
|
|
+ --coinbase-addr 1QATWksNFGeUJCWBrN4g6hGM178Lovm7Wh \
|
|
|
+ --coinbase-sig "rig1: This is Joe's block!"
