Title: Mining Home Network question. Post by: CorneredS on February 25, 2011, 04:36:45 PM Hi!
I've recently started to mine on my desktop and I've configured my brother's desktop to do the same via mine. I simply added -server=(my ip) to his bitcoin client along with the -server partameter. I've configured the m0mchill miner as shown here (http://www.newslobster.com/random/how-to-get-started-using-your-gpu-to-mine-for-bitcoins-on-windows) I've also started to use the RPC CUDA miner for myself (without a pool) by just setting the -server=(my ip) along with the correct -user= and password= parameters. I get the correct hashrates and everything and my brother's client is only connected to mine. So my question is: Is it really working or did I miss something? I didn't manage to find any guide on setting up a mining LAN, so I was kindoff forced to find it out on my own. I don't really trust my tech-savvyness so hence why I am asking it here. Also: if I join a pool do I need to register my GPU, 4-way CPU miner and bitcoinclient only or also my brother's miners (who technically behind my bitcoin client...)? Thanks in advance!

I've configured the m0mchill miner as shown here (http://www.newslobster.com/random/how-to-get-started-using-your-gpu-to-mine-for-bitcoins-on-windows) he only needs m0mchils miner and connect that to your bitcoin-client. your bitcoin-client needs to be started as a -server, allowing his m0mchil-miner to connect. you can simplify that by creating a bitcoin.conf like this Code: server=1 and to join pools, connect all miners (or all you want to run on the pool) to the pool, not to a bitcoin-client. bitcoin-clients can not be connected to pools, only miners can do that.

EDIT: Found it! Did I set up my own desktop's minder correctly btw? Title: Re: Mining Home Network question.
