Question - how many machines with one worker?

[megaera]

I'm going to mine with several machines on single worker.
Is possible that? how many machines up to?

[LiteCoinGuy]

what?!

It is possible, but not recommended. You can use as many machines as you want, but it is possible that your machines will be working on duplicate work, thus reducing your full mining power. It is recommended that you use a new worker for each machine.

Are you talking about different miners connected to different CPUs or different miners connected to one CPU?

If it is former, the problem knightdk mentioned arises. To avoid it, configure your CPUs to connect to one CPU and that CPU will submit shares. You need considerable memory to do this.

If it is latter, you can use a single worker. However, for some miners, you need to open another miner(client) which may also create the above problem. You can avoid this same problem using the above method.

better to have multiple workers for each machine/rig, to reduce the number of stale, this is especially true if the machine have different hash rate, otherwise you may use one worker

basically if one machine/rig work with a lower hash it may reduce your overall income becuse it will wok as a limited factor, due to the fact that pool will use the same diff for both

I doubt so. Many ASICs can easily function on one worker if the pool allows it to. It isn't possible to do any duplicate work (unless they are coded incorrectly) as they are all trying to find a hash that is considered valid. The main use for multiple worker is for diagnostic if the hashrate falls below the expected one and they want to pinpoint which machine is causing the problem. Correct me if I'm wrong.

It isn't possible to do any duplicate work as they are all trying to find a hash that is at the specified difficulty set by the pool or user.

Some "share" related problem indeed arises if you use one worker for many machines. However, if you are mining with many ASICs in one PC, this problem, most probably, won't happen. OP needs to solve this first:
