Would it cause any problems, either for the network or the miners if I solo mine from 2 different computers, on different ISPs but using the same wallet?

I wouldn't try it. But you can easily make a new wallet on the second computer. That's what I'm doing. And it is on two different ISPs (I have two connections from different companies in case one goes down, since I do a nightly radio show and my connectivity is mission critical.)

You don't really need to have simplewallet open when you mine. Your blocks are stored in the blockchain and will update next time you open the wallet.  On your second computer, just run bipcoind like this:

bipcoind --start-mining YOURADDRESSHERE --mining-threads 4

Make sure you set your address and your preferred number of threads.  I'm pretty sure you could run it like this on 100 different computers without causing any problems.

Whatever floats your goat. But I use the wallet too, because your way involves copying and pasting the address. Although I know have a two-key combo preset to paste my public wallet address.

If mining on two copmuters to one wallet works, let us know. And also if it doesn't. FYI, I'm pretty sure you'll need these files from computer A also copied to your BipCoin folder on Computer B:

(wallet name).wallet
(wallet name).address

I have that and I can check one wallet's balance from another computer.

I've been trying to install the CLI on a LInux Mint 18 OS, on a homebuild machine.

It shows it downloading, installing and I've done all the command line instructions for the Terminal as well, but I can't seem to get "bipcoincd" to work, or even show up as anything other than an exe file.

Am I doing it wrong?

Or does bipcoin just not work on Linux Mint?

Sounds like you downloaded the Windows version.  The linux version is just bipcoind, there should be no .exe extension on the filename.

It definitely works.  You don't need the files in both places. The transaction is stored on all nodes in the blockchain. Just specify the address with the --start-mining option when starting bipcoind.

well, this is the link I downloaded

https://bipcoin.org/DROPS/0001/bipcoin.linux.x64.v0-0-0-1.tar.gz

[rancemo]

well, this is the link I downloaded

https://bipcoin.org/DROPS/0001/bipcoin.linux.x64.v0-0-0-1.tar.gz

It should looks something like this in the terminal:

Code:

cd DOWNLOADFOLDER

tar xvzf bipcoin.linux.x64.v0-0-0-1.tar.gz

cd bipcoin

./bipcoind

Then in another terminal window start simplewallet:

Code:

cd BIPCOINFOLDER

./simplewallet

[MWD64]

Yup. Was just about to paste that. And I check it. It's correct. The Linux CLI version of BipCoin.

thank you!

The linux binaries are 64-bit binaries.  Are you by chance running 32-bit OS?  Do you get an error message when you execute it?  As mentioned before, if any of the files end with ".exe" you have the wrong download.

Nope, I'm running 64bit machine Linux Mint 18.
No error messages.
I input all the command lines in Terminal
.
DL'ed https://bipcoin.org/DROPS/0001/bipcoin.linux.x64.v0-0-0-1.tar.gz to desktop and extract that.
I click on "bipcoind" and nothing happens.

I must be doing it wrong.
Sorry for all the trouble, and thanks for responding everyone.

When you say you "extract" it, did you extract it from within the terminal, or using a GUI file archiver (like file roller)?  Are you able to navigate to the bipcoin directory from within a terminal, and list all of the files using "ls"?  Can you post the output of "ls -ald ./*" from within the bipcoin directory (don't include the quotation marks)?

You can't just click on the file to run it.  You have to open the terminal / command line application, navigate to the bipcoin folder, then type ./bipcoind to run it.

(wallet name).wallet
(wallet name).address

I have that and I can check one wallet's balance from another computer.

I know it works because I did it successfully on the first day  . But only now it occurred to me that it might not be safe.

Anyway, I like the daemon method better. I have batch files so everything is just a one-click job anyway

Here, for anyone to use:

daemon

Code:

@ECHO off
SET ADDRESS=YOUR_ADDRESS_HERE
SET /p THREADS=Miner threads :
IF %THREADS% EQU 0 (bipcoind.exe) ELSE (bipcoind.exe --start-mining %ADDRESS% --mining-threads %THREADS%) 

simplewallet

Code:

simplewallet.exe --wallet-file WALLET_FILE_NAME --password PASSWORD

I recommend that you PM me if you would like help, in order to keep this thread clean.  However, in the interest of transparency I also recommend, after our correspondence is finished, that you copy all of our messages into PasteBin and post the link here.  I don't like giving people commands to execute on their computer in private communication due to the appearance of impropriety.  Plus the resolution to your problem may help others.  I just don't to want to hijack the thread with 30 posts back and forth for a very specific problem like this one.

If anyone disagrees with me, feel free to object.
