Monero XMR Solo Mining Luck
You can solo mine without using a private pool. Hyc modified ccminer and wolf's AMD miner to be able to do solo mining. Unfortunately, no binaries have been made for windows for nvidia version.
Wolf's has windows binaries For ccminer you use a URL of the form 'daemon+tcp://:/json_rpc' For Wolf's you use 'daemon+tcp://:' For Wolf's miner, if your daemon RPC is bound to an IP address of e.g. Bitcoin BTC Mining Machines. 192.168.1.177 minerd -o daemon+tcp://192.168.1.177:18081 -u -p x Similarly, if you can get the nvidia one compiled somehow, it's ccminer -o daemon+tcp://192.168.1.177:18081/json_rpc -u -p x. Solo mining is fairly trivial. Note that you have to be fully synced in order to do so. If you are starting from scratch, download the official binaries from. Subsequently, extract them to a given folder and start monerod. This is the daemon which will now start syncing.
To check your blockheight type status into monerod. The blockheight should be equal to the blockheight reported on in order to be fully synced. Now that you are fully synced, you can start solo mining. To do so you have to type start_mining [] into the daemon.
Thus, if you want to solo mine to, for instance, the of the with 2 threads the command would be as follows: start_mining 44AFFq5kSiGBoZ4NMDwYtN18obc8AemS33DBLWs3H7otXft3XjrpDtQGv7SqSsaBYBb98uNbr2VBBEt7f2wfn3RVGQBEP3A 2 Note that the optimal number of threads is one per 2 MB of CPU cache. Thus, if you have 4 MB of CPU cache available the optimal number of threads would be 2. There is also an alternative method, which is to enter the start_mining command into monero-wallet-cli. You won't have to specify an address then, because it will use the address of the wallet that is opened at that moment. However, you will be able to specify the number of thredas.
