Title: Can you restrict altcoin mining to a list of ips
Post by: eternaluniverse on December 29, 2013, 04:46:32 PM
Is there a simple way to restrict an altcoins mining to a list of pre-determined IPs?

Not the mining, no.

You can limit what IPs you connect to or allow to connect to you, but cannot control what they connect to out beyond them.

No. You wouldn't be able to tell a mined block from a transmitted block in that case.

However it is possible to restrict block mining to a list of people who are able to sign a block with their keys.

Hi, very interested in knowing how to sign the block to allow miners with an specific private key.
Can you give more info about this?

This is a very old post!
