Multiple miners, one worker

[logdog16]

What happens if on your pool you have multiple miners connect with one common worker name and pass?

One connects, the rest get rejected

some pools reject others are fine with it but most reject or end up with high stales

One connects, the rest get rejected

Lol beat me to it

Thanks, thought you couldn't do it, but it would make imaging so much easier

Test it on your particular pool, it works fine on some.

Anyone know a pool that it works on? When you have 20+ machines in a private cluster you need to be able to image them...

Personally, they seem to not compete for blocks all that much, and if the miners aren't competing for the same hardware, everything looks fine. I mine on triplemining, so this might not apply to your pool.

depends on the pool, some will work with this setup but most will only accept one and the rest will be rejected

I have 5 miners all using the same credentials on Slush's pool. Three are in one machine, and the other two are two more machines. I've had no issues so far aside from finding out (the hard way) the username is case sensitive.
