Solo Mining Setup Checklist: Clean First-Run Workflow
A no-fluff first-run workflow to connect miners, validate shares, and prevent avoidable setup mistakes in solo mining.
Purpose
Most early solo-mining issues come from configuration drift: wrong wallet format, unstable endpoint selection, and missing failover logic. This checklist is designed to make first-run setup repeatable and auditable.
Pre-Flight Checks
- Confirm wallet address format and backup custody process.
- Set primary and backup stratum endpoints before enabling workers.
- Validate worker naming standard for easier troubleshooting.
- Document target hashrate baseline per worker model.
Activation Sequence
- Bring one worker online first and confirm accepted-share flow.
- Track stale/reject behavior for at least 30-60 minutes.
- Scale remaining workers in small batches to isolate issues fast.
- Verify dashboard visibility for every worker name and status.
Post-Run Validation
- Accepted/rejected share trend captured.
- Any reconnect loops investigated and resolved.
- Primary and backup endpoint health tested manually.
- Operator notes stored for next rollout cycle.
If initial share quality degrades during scale-up, roll back to last stable worker batch and troubleshoot there instead of proceeding blindly.
