Hi guys I am mining bitcoins and want to solo mine name coin however when I get it up and running I have noticed that the GUIMiner shows me shares accepted when solo mining but in the command line I get no shares accepted.
I am use poclbm with all my settings for deepbit mining switch over to localhost and port 8336 and the user name and password changed but that's it. I can see it hashing but no shares accepted.
I am sure its some secret setting in the minor that's not documented like the bitcoin.conf file.
Using the guiminer and using the same settings I get shares accepted what GIVES!
Thanks
Davinci
I want to see shares accepted 1 BTC reward to the person helps me fix this.

To solo mine, you must add "server=1" in your bitcoin/namecoin config file.
When pool mining, difficulty is set to 1, so you send a lot of shares, that are used to count your participation. Only one among XXXXXXXX will be valid to create a new block.
When solo mining, difficulty is the real value, so, there is no share, but only the valid solutions for a new block.
I'm not sure to respond to your problem....

Thanks for the response Khal I am sure you are a busy guy.
Anyhow it's real simple my problem I am scared that my mining efforts are not working.
When I mind deep bit I see this...
Code: Select all
deepbit.net:8332 07/07/2011 16:29:08, cbe74e5b, accepted
deepbit.net:8332 07/07/2011 16:30:12, ddf3745b, accepted
deepbit.net:8332 07/07/2011 16:30:26, 53e2aeff, accepted
deepbit.net8332 228004 khash/s
And I see shares being accepted so I feel confident I it's all working find.
When I mine on my server running with the right settings you suggested I see this...
And no shares accepted EVER!
scary if you ask me is that correct when solo mining?
If you say yes then why does the GUIMiner show shares accepted when I do the same thing in the gui front end?
Thanks in advance

What you see is normal. You see lots of 'accepted' with DeepBit because they are difficulty 1 shares that DeepBit is providing. GUIMiner shows shares accepted because it acts like a mini-pool and counts difficulty 1 shares. You don't see anything from your actual mining client because it's operating on full difficulty shares and it'll take a while (depending on hash rate) to find one.

This solo mining sucks rocks I have 3 GHashs thrown at it since 3 pm yesterday its been 16 hours and no blocks found. That ain't right.

Probability Time
Average 22 hours, 13 minutes
50% 15 hours, 24 minutes
95% 2 days, 18 hours, 34 minutes
That's for 3 ghash at the current difficulty.

Thanks but I gave up can't tell if it's working or not and how much I am hashing against my solo server so I makes no sense to continue on a hope and luck.
So is there a way to tell at least how much my total hash rate is on my namecoind?

You can install your own pushpoold
https://github.com/jgarzik/pushpool. That give you a personal mini pool. Pushpoold is used by many pools and gives you difficulty 1 shares by default. With this configuration you have the same behaviour like on "big" pools on your local namecoind.

Now that's info I can use!
Thanks.
