Title: Does bitcoin.exe have to stay open? Post by: SgtSpike on May 02, 2011, 06:23:54 PM I followed a setup guide that included running bitcoin.exe -server, then sending any GPU bitcoins found to said bitcoin wallet. My question is, is running bitcoin.exe necessary at all if I am using pooled mining (deepbit), and connecting directly to deepbit's servers?

No, it's not necessary.And don't enable it's "Generate coins" option - it's useless. Title: Re: Does bitcoin.exe have to stay open?

I just sync the wallet once a week from any mining payouts I've gotten. Then rinse/repeat Title: Re: Does bitcoin.exe have to stay open?
