      I need some help getting my new setup running. I’ve just recently gotten into crypto-currencies so I’m sorry if I miss any obvious information. Just let me know if I missed something vital and I’ll post up the info as needed.

      I’ve got my wallet up to date

      I created a conf file as follows:

      rpcuser=username
      rpcpassword=password
      rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
      rpcallowip=192.168.1.*
      rpcport=9337
      server=1
      gen=1
      daemon=1
      listen=1

      I’ve tried 3 different miners and I cant get any of them to connect to the wallet. With a local host connection, the whole idea is that its a pass through so that no port forwarding is needed if everything is done on a single computer. Is that correct? Are there any windows firewall or router firewalls settings I should be looking into to ensure connectivity.

        Hi, are you working off a particular guide? when you say wallet, I am assuming you mean feathercoind (daemon)?

        I use a solo p2pool for the extra information / hash sharing it, BUT I would assume you do not want to “pay into” the wallet on the miner, but one on a separate machine. In fact, I think you can set no wallet for security.

        Any more information like the actual miners you used, GPU, OS etc would probably help diagnose what you need to do.

        You can easily try opening the required ports (on you router), the miners are uPNP, so they do try to open a port out, if you’ve got that allowed.

        Mining has got technically easier than it used to be, I’ll be interested to see how you get on. Good luck
