Also, I seem to be having issues solo mining. I believe everything is set up correctly in my .conf file, however whenever I try to run m-minerd I'm given this error message: "HTTP request failed: Failed to connect to 127.0.0.1 port 8232: Connection refused"
followed in the next line by:
json_rpc_call request failed, retry after 30 seconds
what do I need to do here to be able to solo mine? Is this something stupid I've missed? Or perhaps a windows issue?
m-minerd .bat looks like so: m-minerd --url
http://127.0.0.1:8232/ --user user --pass x -t 6 -e 95
It looks like that either your wallet or daemon is not running, your rpcport is not 8232 in .conf file or you are trying to mine from another computer...?
it could be that! I have my wallet on my NAS currently, will try moving the miner to the NAS/wallet to main machine
Is there any way for me to go about installing the wallet on a NAS, rather than on the desktop? At least without configuration files being stored on the desktop or the machine running the wallet as well? I'm a bit confused by all this and I'd like to have my wallet self contained on my NAS if possible, due to reliability concerns on my desktop.
Actually there is a super simple way to put the wallet data of ANY coinwallet somewhere else, which I want to share. Also possible if you use NAS as say a SAMBA share (almost any NAS has the samba feature).
1. Find the default data-directory (location 1) of the wallet
2. Move its content to the new location (location 2)
3. delete the location 1 folder which should be empty after last step
4. open terminal/cmd in the folder in which location 1 has been and create a link to the new location. for this, of course, link-name has to be exactly like original data-directory
e.g. for magi in windows: (after data-directory was moved)
mklinkd C:\users\...\AppData\Roaming\Magi "X:\Sambashare\dir"
linux users do it with ln -s
Thank you so much for this!! Will try it out.
