How do I solo mine? I've typed start_mining and I get a hashrate, but I don't know what it's mining because when I disconnect the internet it carries on anyway. Can someone help me out here? Many thanks!
Can anyone help me with this? I know that solo mining at this point would be extremely difficult, I just want to know how to do it and try it out one time. Please!
open the daemon and type start_mining [your ducknote address] [number of threads]
Edit: and you cannot mine when disconnected. When you mine, you are competing with other people to find a hash that meets some requirements, when you find it, it is submitted as the next block. If you are disconnected, I assume it will still try to find acceptable hashes, but when it does find one, it won't be synced with anyone else's blockchain, and your work is lost.
