Solo with multiple addresses in wallet

[krovko654]

I try mining solo. I have a wallet with two addresses right now. Which address of those two will be awarded when I found a block?


Thank you.

Mining and wallet are two completely different, separate, independent things.

You can specify the address for the reward in your mining settings. You can use any address from your wallet there, or some online wallet address or a brainwallet or whatever.

But you don't have to specify it. You can start bitcoind as a server, set password, name and port and use these settings with the miner, then you will solo mine. Without having specified the address. This means one of your address is used, the question krovko made is still unanswered: wich address will it choose?

This said, solo mining is not a good idea...

Usually while solo-mining the client running your wallet and that you connect your miners to generates a new address that gets the reward.
So for your first block found you'll get a third address, the next block generates a fourth address and so on.

Good luck.

I run "bitcoin-qt -server" and then cgminer.exe, which connects to bitcoin server. I assumed that this connection ensure transfer of BTC when block is found. I cannot find any parameters to tell CGMiner more about bitcoin address.

Are you sure CGMiner will create its own address?

[lassdas]

No, CGMiner won't create an address,
but "bitcoin-qt -server" will.
