After reading all 43 pages of posts about Kiv's guiminer I wanted to ask a question so I registered. Had I known about the newbie restriction I would have registered before either downloading the miner, getting it running, or reading all those posts. I would have the required hours and then some by now!
I got to this topic (Kiv's guiminer) on the forum from the article at:
http://www.newslobster.com/random/how-to-get-started-using-your-gpu-to-mine-for-bitcoins-on-windows .
The question I have should be in that topic so I can get an answer from Kiv or one of the experts there. It is about using guiminer for a local pool. By that I mean that I have more than one computer to mine with and I would like to have them all working as one local miner. I expect that I need to run guiminer on all boxes and the bitcoin server on one of them. The ones without the server should connect to the one with it as if that box was a pool. That is my guess but I am not sure if it can be done that way or how to do if it can be done. From everything I have read I should be able to get 3.5 giga hashes per second combined from my computers.
This question was touched on by one poster but not as directly as I just did. It was not answered unless, I missed the answer somehow. I would be surprised if that were the case since I am sure that I read all of the posts.
I would appreciate it if whoever moderates the posts in this thread would move my question to the thread it belongs in so Kiv can answer it for me.
Kiv, if you see this please note that I will donate to your efforts each time I earn bitcoins with guiminer.
