How to set up sgminer 5 solo mining?

[LambdaFox]

I successfully installed the dash wallet and sgminer on Ubuntu.

I am new to alt coin mining, but have been reading about it for a long time. I am also new to Linux, although I have been using windows for decades (literally).

If I am reading correctly, in order to mine solo, I need to set the pool for sgminer to 127.0.0.1, but I have not been able to find what the correct port is.

What is the proper port number?

Also, if user name and password are required on the sgminer command line, then do I need to configure something on the wallet to recognize them?

Thank you.

create dash.conf

rpcuser=WORKER
rpcpassword=SUPERPASSWD
daemon=1
server=1
listen=1

sgminer ... -o 127.0.0.1:9998 -u WORKER -p SUPERPASSWD -I 13

wow, i am amazed to get a response that quick!

create dash.conf

rpcuser=WORKER
rpcpassword=SUPERPASSWD
daemon=1
server=1
listen=1

The wallet created a blank dash.conf in my ~/.dash folder. I will try putting that in there.

sgminer ... -o 127.0.0.1:9998 -u WORKER -p SUPERPASSWD -I 13

That did it! Thanks, again.
