Title: How to solo mine on 2-3 comps?
Post by: forzendiablo on November 21, 2013, 02:18:09 AM
Im aware of settign up solo mining, but what if i want to use few computers.
Surely i copy the wallet but do i use same username on all comps or i change the workername?

No, just point all your machines to the one bitcoin-qt on one machine.

so i dont instll QT anywhere ele than 1 comp.

then i use miners [on comps without qt] with:
bfgminer.exe -o http://127.0.0.1:6666 -u user -p pass

and thats it? will my entwork even see that port as usable?

Yes, that's it. 

Why would your network NOT see the port?   ???  You're really over-thinking this, it's simple.

I don't get that IP, but then IPs confuse me regularly. Wouldn't you use the IP of the computer that had the wallet running on it?

Obviously, yes. Ex. 192.168.1.102:6666
The computer running bitcoin qt itself will use localhost aka 127.0.0.1

that depends maybe he wants to see how it all ties in which can be more valuable than mining and much much more useful
maybe he has 10ths connected to each computer...
