Title: Using multiple machines
Post by: poet_imp on July 13, 2010, 05:10:33 AM
I have more than one computer here at the house that could be selling cycles for BCs. Is it possible to setup more than one computer to run coin generating daemon and place the coinage into the same wallet?

You can generate coins on more than one computer, but you can't set up a wallet shared between computers. You have to send the coins from one to the other yourself (or create some automated process to do it).

Ok, I can see how that would work. Can I use a port different than 8333? With my router I have opened that port to a single machine.

I don't think you can use another port, but you don't need to. What you want to do is have the port forwarded to one computer, and then make the other computers connect to that one using the "-connect" command line option. See this thread for how to do it: http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=172.0 (http://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=172.0)
