Hi,

as title says, this is the question that is bothering me. AFAIK, with solo mining, you need lots of disk space in order to download the blocks.
One solution I can think about is running the wallet and server on my laptop within the same home router DHCP network as the rigs and point the rigs to my laptop.
However, I am not quite sure how to do this, can you please help me with some ideas?  Roll Eyes

Thanks in advance!

You can use a wallet that doesn't need the full blockchain, such as MultiBit

Have a look at this thread: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=252937.0

You don't need "lots". I have a mining rig that boots from a 30GB usb pen with Windows 7 64bits and many utilities installed. I have 2 wallets open and there are still 16 GB free.
