Title: How to setup a private pool without network access? Post by: createfile on May 25, 2011, 08:36:41 AM Hello
I have a big server room, for security reason, I won't let any machine have access to internet, I want to let them mine bitcoin when they are idle. So I want to build a private pool without network access ( I want use USB disk to copy blocks list from other computer which have access to internet to the server machine of the private pool every day, and ofcourse copy result blocks out and publish it to bitcoin network) Is that possible? What risk do I have ? Thanks, CreateFlie Title: Re: How to setup a private pool without network access? Post by: error on May 25, 2011, 08:38:05 AM You can't mine without network access.

electrics are for free ( I paid the rent monthly, electrics bills are cover by landlord, they measure how much my machine uses ) And Is that possible to setup the miner stop occupying CPU/memory in 1 second after keyboard is touched?

Some of existing miners have functionality to run with flags that prevent them to overuse of resourses. Title: Re: How to setup a private pool without network access?
