Setting up solo mining through MacMiner?

FabulousPanda

ah. message me the contents of your bitcoin.conf if you don't mind and I'll make sure that's all good - I've got to get some sleep though it's 5:20am here :S I'll get back to you soon though!

No worries!  I'll mess with this tomorrow or soon.  Thanks again.

Here's an example bitcoin.conf

server=1
rpcuser=USRNAME
rpcpassword=RANDOMPASSWORD
rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=8332

so in this example you'd use http://localhost:8332 with user USRNAME and password RANDOMPASSWORD

You'll have to restart Bitcoin for the change to take effect

John, after tinkering, I'm getting this in the output window:

Then it will just sit there for as long as you want without changing...I've tinkered some other settings and MacMiner crashes after 5-10mins but at that point it will tell me GH/s.  That's if I delete all pools except pool 0, the localhost pool.  Weird!

It looks like there's another bfg or cgminer process using your device, can you quit that in Activity Monitor first please?
