 ### **Solo Mining (Local Node)**
 ```bash
-# Solo mining with default address
+# Solo mining with default address and all cores
 bash MINE/rin/solo_mining_core.sh
 
-# Solo mining with custom address
-bash MINE/rin/solo_mining_core.sh rin1qkeweeh2agurz5af3eullkvtl34kcmrwl2ytkvn
+# Solo mining with custom address and thread count
+bash MINE/rin/solo_mining_core.sh -a rin1qkeweeh2agurz5af3eullkvtl34kcmrwl2ytkvn -t 16
+
+# Solo mining with 28 threads (like your cpuminer attempt)
+bash MINE/rin/solo_mining_core.sh -t 28

+### **Why cpuminer-opt-rin Can't Mine Directly to Node**
+```bash
+# This command will fail:
+sudo docker exec -it amd-strix-halo-llama-rocm bash -c "/mnt/dl/rinhash/cpuminer-opt-rin/cpuminer -a rinhash -o http://127.0.0.1:9556 -u rinrpc -p 745ce784d5d537fc06105a1b935b7657903cfc71a5fb3b90 -t 28 --coinbase-addr=bc1qjn4m6rmrveuxhk02a5qhe4r6kdcsvvt3vhdn9j"
+
+# Reason: Protocol mismatch
+# - cpuminer-opt-rin uses Stratum protocol (for mining pools)
+# - RinCoin node uses RPC protocol (for direct mining)
+# - No built-in protocol conversion available
+```
+
+### ** we do not need a container for the cpu, so we can run it directly if we want** 
+1. we run stratum proxy
+./MINE/rin/start_stratum_proxy.sh
+2. we run the cpuminer
+/home/db/Downloads/rinhash/cpuminer-opt-rin/cpuminer -a rinhash -o stratum+tcp://127.0.0.1:3333 -u user -p pass -t 28
+
+
+
+
+### **Mining Options Explained**
+1. **Built-in Core Mining**: Uses RinCoin's `generatetoaddress` RPC command
+2. **Pool Mining**: Uses cpuminer-opt-rin with Stratum pools (Zergpool)
+3. **Direct RPC Mining**: Would require custom miner implementing `getblocktemplate`
