I'm sorry if the information is out there but I have done some searching and was unable to find it.
I am trying to setup a solo mining operation between my two computers and my friends 3 computers. I understand that I need to run one of my machines as a server and have the other connect as a client.
My question is, do I need to setup a different rpcuser/rpcpassword for each machine or will they all use the same rpcuser/rpcpassword that I create in the config file? So, only one rpcuser/rpcpassword will exist in bitcoin.conf.
I am using the guiminer if that is needed for any instruction.
Thank you for your time.
Just use the same user/password for all of them, allow access to the RPC server for your local subnet's IP range, and point the miners to the IP of the server.
Ok so I will have all the machines using the same rpcuser/rpcpassword and point to the IP of the computer that has the server running. Thank you.
When the server is operational and you can see the Mhash/s in the bottom right, will you be able to see the combined Mhash/s of all the computers (to validate you have mutliple machines contributing) or do you just have to know it's working because you set it up properly?
Thanks again!
