ccminer JSON-RPC call failed: Method not found

Question

I am having issue with running ccminer with bitcoin-qt.exe (Solo mining)

I am receiving error below upon start:

[2017-01-26 14:23:57] 1 miner thread started, using 'bitcoin' algorithm
[2017-01-26 14:23:57] Binding thread 0 to cpu 0 (mask 1)
[2017-01-26 14:23:57] JSON-RPC call failed: Method not found
[2017-01-26 14:23:57] json_rpc_call failed, retry after 5 seconds

How to resolve this issue?

What I did:

my ccminer running parameters:

ccminer -a bitcoin -o http://127.0.0.1:8332 -u USER -p 123456789 -R 5 -D

my bitcoin.conf file:

rpcuser=USER
rpcpassword=123456789 
server=1
daemon=1
listen=1
#rpcallowip=127.0.0.1
rpcport=8332

I have tried to add -P into ccminer running parameters, and the result is

* Rebuilt URL to: http://127.0.0.1:8332/
* Hostname 127.0.0.1 was found in DNS cache

I thought, maybe bitcoin-qt.exe does not accepting any connections, but when I run bfgminer with parameters:

bfgminer -S opencl:auto -o http://127.0.0.1:8332 -u USER -p 123456789 2>logfile.txt

everything works fine...

P.S. everything is up to date:

Bitcoin v0.13.2 (64 bit)
ccminer v8.05-KlausT
pthreads static 2, 9, 1, 0
libcurl/7.50.3 WinSSL WinIDN

Thanks in advance

Above question was also asked at Github

Sorry, but Bitcoin solo mining is no longer supported, because they removed the getwork command. Trying to mine Bitcoin is useless anyway, the difficulty is too high.
