Zcash solo-mining does not seem to work #91

Open forenbuddy opened 6 years ago

forenbuddy commented 6 years ago

I would like to solo-mine zcash without a pool and it says in the changelog it would support it, but I can't get it to work. /opt/sgminer-5.5.5/bin/sgminer -u username -p password -I 13 /opt/sgminer-5.5.5/bin/sgminer -o http://localhost:8233 -u username -p password -I 13 for example (with the real username and password of course) constantly complains about wrong url of a pool or credentials.

Does it not work any more or do I do something wrong?

I suspect my issue with bitcoin-qt (a fork for a new coin) is the same. It works with minerd so I think the bitcoin-qt part is working OK.

In order to work you need to patch the Zcash node because the miner builds a custom coinbase tx with it's configured address.
