Title: Setting up a wallet account for mining
Post by: Kogyo on February 08, 2015, 10:01:35 PM
Hello everyone

Let’s say one has five miners and you’ve set up your pool to have five workers.  All five workers are then linked to your wallet account.  My question is, in your wallet should you have five separate address?  This way one can keep track of the income each miner is generating?

Thanks!

I have separate addresses for each miner.  Someone probably has a good reason to do other way.

Hi kipper01

That setup works well for you?  Thanks for the response.

You could just use one bitcoin address but set up five workers on the pool side. Most pools show stats for individual workers, so you can see how each miner is performing.

No need to make separate address for each worker. If you mine at pool that use wallet address as username like eligius.st, just add worker name at the end of your wallet address. Example: btcaddress_worker1

Can be done but you might have to have a separate account for each miner for some pools.  That might mean payouts take a long time as each miner will take a long time to reach the threshold.
