[SOLVED]setting up multiple miners

[jjiimm_64]

Great Idea to have sub topics...  lets try and keep on topic...

speaking of which,  I am about to set up my first second rig.  Can someone point me to; or just tell me here how to tell the guiminer to look on a different machine for the bitclient.  Do you just give it another flag ?

A little backround on my primary set up.
poclbm/Windows 7 64
guiminer with 3 workers (5850's @ 342Mhash) going against slushs pool.  current flags are  (   -v -w 64 -f 1 )  clock,  900   mem 400

so, my question is, when I set this all up at another machine, can I use the flags to  go against the primary bitclient?  
How many other machines can go against one client without becoming bottle necked.?

or can I just run another client...  help

Jim

You will need to point your miner to the IP address of the machine running Bitcoin in server mode.

Also.. I believe this goes in Mining Support .. not mining software.

Mining Software is for posting Miners and specifics regarding them.

Mining Support is for problems like this.

thank you.


my bad,  anyway to move this thread to 'mining support'

I guess my question should have been, does guiminer support pointing to the bitcoind client on a diff ip?

yes,
however you will have to edit your bitcoin.conf file on the machine you are running bitcoin -server or bitcoind
that file should look like :-
rpcuser=name
rpcpassword=password
rpcallow=192.168.*.*

change name and password to what you have and rpcallow to be your local net range
then you will be able to conenct to it over the local net

sir.  you are awsome,  I believe I will have to send you a tip...  I have been mining for 3 days, I have about 3btc now .

One more question,  I believe I have to edit the ini file of poclbm.  but I need the syntax.  I have looked around alot, but cannot find it.


I ended up playing with the 'net view'  and net use commands, which lead me to the syntax for the rpc call

 "bitcoin_executable": "\\\\miner1\\C:\\bitcoin\\bitcoin_322\\bitcoin.exe",

Thank everybody

The easiest way to setup GUIMiner to point to a bitcoin server on another IP is to just select the "other" as the server option.  Populate the IP in the Host box, Port in the port box and the username/password to match the rpcuser/rpcpassword values you set in the bitcoin.conf file in those boxes.  You can use the same username/password for multiple miners if they're all pointing to the same bitcoin client server.

Also, make sure you have the port you choose set to allow the inbound traffic on the server machine.
