<p>How do I solo mine with an AntMiner?</p>

<p>AntMiners use <code>cgminer</code>, which certainly supports GBT, but when I use <code>http://&lt;my_local_net_ip&gt;:8332/</code> and my <code>bitcoind</code> username and password for "Worker" and "Password," respectively, on the "Miner Configuration" tab of my AntMiner's page, the AntMiner says my "pool" is dead. <code>bfgminer</code> can connect, via RPC, to my local <code>bitcoind</code> "pool" just fine, so the issue is with AntMiner/<code>cgminer</code>.</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2015-04-09)

How do I solo mine with an AntMiner?

AntMiners use `cgminer`, which certainly supports GBT, but when I use `http://<my_local_net_ip>:8332/` and my `bitcoind` username and password for "Worker" and "Password," respectively, on the "Miner Configuration" tab of my AntMiner's page, the AntMiner says my "pool" is dead. `bfgminer` can connect, via RPC, to my local `bitcoind` "pool" just fine, so the issue is with AntMiner/`cgminer`.

Check your `rpcallowip` configuration, you will need to explicitly allow connections incoming to your RPC port from the network. If your local network for example is `192.168.0.x`, the `rpcallowip` configuation in your `bitcoin.conf` will need to be `192.168.0.0/24` (this is [CIDR notation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing)).

You have run the BFGMiner on the local machine starting it as a Stratum proxy listening on port 3333 adn then point your AntMiner to it.

Run BFGminer on the same computer as Bitcoin Core with the following configuation, it won't need any further settings altered or configured (it gets the RPC password automatically on launch).

bfgminer --stratum-port=3333

BFGminer will launch, and retrieve the information needed for solo mining.
