Title: Solo mining with QT-Client Post by: Tesla71 on February 27, 2013, 07:22:44 AM I have a question about solo mining on QT-Client, every time a block is found it ads up in the wallet with a new address.
So do I have to backup the wallet more regulary than with normal transaction ?

You probably ought to join a pool. Title: Re: Solo mining with QT-Client Post by: Tesla71 on February 27, 2013, 07:46:23 AM Not really, you just need to keep that one address safe. Are you sure? If I look in blockexplorer for my normal receive address, these mined coins dont show up. How many GH/s are you pulling though. You probably ought to join a pool. :D its only a terracoin wallet ..

It's not a totally NEW address,So do I have to backup the wallet more regulary than with normal transaction ? it's an unused address taken from your keypool. The client creates about a hundred addresses right from the start and keeps those in the keypool until they are needed/used, so you don't really have to backup the wallet with each block you found, but more like with every hundred blocks found. You can set your keypool-size by adding -keypool=<n> in your bitcoin.conf (or terracoin.conf), where <n> is the number of addresses you want (default 100).

I just thought mined coins would be generated under the first receive-address Solo mining isn't profitable, go pooled. Can you explain this? Why should I go to a pool now if I am finding blocks fast enough ? |
