tabjohn,

here are the steps to mine solo with multiple computers.
FYI, never done for multiple rigs, but this should work.

I will assume you have 3 rigs and a regular PC.  Guessing the regular PC has the BATcoin wallet installed.
If this is not the case, I am sure you can adjust accordingly.

First, get the IP of each of your computers, ie. do an "ipconfig" from a cmd prompt.

on your regular PC, go to your batcoin folder under your User directory. C:\Users\<your PC username>\AppData\Roaming\BatCoin

create a file using notepad called batcoin.conf  in this directory  ( make sure you have show file extensions in Windows )
add the following to this file

rpcuser=batcoin
rpcpassword=x
rpcallowip=< RIG1 IP>
rpcallowip=< RIG2 IP>
rpcallowip=< RIG3 IP>
daemon=1
server=1
addnode=84.109.103.114
addnode=88.198.40.3
rpcconnect=127.0.0.1
rpcport=11869
port=10473


save this file and restart your batcoin-qt wallet.

Not sure how you connect to pools on your rigs, whether you do it all with a bat file, or with the cgminer.conf

someone gave you the help how to update bat file above, so here is what you add to your cgminer.conf file.
NOTE: if you dont have a cgminer.conf file, click on your cgminer window while its running, hit s for settings, then w to write config file.  this will save the conf file in the same directory as cgminer.

open this config file and add something like the following for your url/pool list(which is actually your wallet)


   {
      "url" : "<THE IP OF YOUR WALLET PC>:11869",
      "user" : "batcoin",
      "pass" : "x"
   },


NOTE:I am pretty sure all rigs should be connecting to your wallet with same username/pw.... any comments from others ?

the username & pw, can be anything, they just need to match what is in your batcoin.conf file.

now restart cgminer and change to this pool.  I put the coin as the username so you can verify what you are mining on the cgminer screen.
(you will see what i mean)

you will not see accepted shares all the time like when connected to a pool.  you will only see them when you find a block, sometimes not even for some reason.

at your hashrate, you should not have to wait to long for a block.  if you are unlucky, it might be an hour.  if you don't have one by then, post here for help.

I am also pretty new to this and there may be a better way, but this setup works for me.

Hope this helps.

Any questions, let us know, ill check back later.



Good luck.

understood batman.... I have moved my 2.6 Mh from minersbest over to solo to test my luck once again.

Thanks.

I am no expert on the matter, but here is what I see currently.

Network hash rate =               15.77
minersbest hash rate =            7.6
n0nplusultra rate =                 10.65

not only do these numbers not add up( I understand its estimated based on submitted work), n0nplusultra is over 50%.

I was solo mining most of the day, but the pools are grabbing up just about all the blocks.

I joined minersbest as I assume it is better to have the hash split 60/40 compared to 60/25/15 ....... not sure if this is true, but im getting more coins this way....

Eitherway, if this scenario is dangerous and could possibly cause another fork, lets do something about it before that happens.

I see one hasher on n0nplusultra with over 6Gh/s.  I think you will get more batcoin if you were solomining, if you happen to read this I can help you set it up if needed.

I like this coin, but I imagine the recent forks/downtime are pushing hashers to other alt-coins.

just my two cents...

Great job getting this all sorted out.. I was the highest hasher on minersbest when we were mining on the fork... made 7 million BATS that night... but fully knew the possibility of losing them all as my wallet was not in sync...but decided to give it a go anyways,  live and learn.

got my wallet updated early and started solo mining to recoup.

Just wanted to say great work and keep it up.

Thanks.
