Mining the same 1 pool from multiple computers
-
Hello, If I'm mining 1 pool, off multiple computers, with the same account (wallet address, name) will this cause any sort of issue?
Thanks

@tylerk07 No. Given that you dont have the same plots and the same drive letters. if you have drives c, d, e, f in one pc, your other pc should be g, h, i, j,...
also if your plots are 800000,90000, 1000000 in one pc, the other pc should have 110000, 120000, 1300000
-
@jervis Can I change a Drive letter once its already been plotted? And so ultimately, as there are 24 drive letters available, that max amount of drives per wallet you could have is 24?
-
yes. unless you do virtual machines in your pc. :) you cannot change letter once plotted. change first before plotting
-
@jervis Nice thanks for the answer :)
-
@tylerk07 you're welcome. :)

@jervis @tylerk07 You just have to be carefull with the overlap nonces... You can use the same drive letters in different PC's since you don't let the plotted drives overlap each other! The drive letter doesn't matter since you don't let the plots overlap...
If you are using the AIO Wallet to plot instead of going manua,l the advice @jervis gave you of not using the same drive letters, is pretty important because that will overlap your drives... ;P

yes, you have to use the manual wplotter. :)

Something that should be mentioned here, and I still need to check into it because I have the same question for a project.
It is my understanding the most if not all the pools will penalize you for multiple our of order submissions. The pools do this in case someone tries to "bruteforce" or generate random nounces.
If your are running on the same network I recommend Blago's miner with the proxy feature.
@haitch @crowetic Perhaps one of the devs can shine some light on this?
-
@crutsy so to be safe it's a good idea to use different drive letters??
-
@tylerk07 The drive letters don't matter if the plots never overlap each others...

@tylerk07
I suggest that you start miner in proxy mode on one computer and then start miners to the proxy IP. This is faster and safer.
Computer A Miner.conf:
"Mode" : "pool",
"Server" : "pool.burstcoin.biz",
"Port" : 8124,"UpdaterAddr" : "pool.burstcoin.biz",
"UpdaterPort" : 8124,"InfoAddr" : "pool.burstcoin.biz",
"InfoPort" : 8124,"EnableProxy" : true,
"ProxyPort" : 8126,Computer B:
"Mode" : "pool",
"Server" : "Computer A IP Address",
"Port" : 8126,"UpdaterAddr" : "Computer A IP Address",
"UpdaterPort" : 8126,"InfoAddr" : "Computer A IP Address",
"InfoPort" : 8126,"EnableProxy" : false,
"ProxyPort" : 8126,

@rnahlawi not quite sure what that means but I'm sure I'll get the hang of it

@crutsy None of the Ninja based pools have a penalty for multiple nonces, but I believe the Uray pools do.

yup. no penalty in our pool too :)
-
@haitch Oh okay cool thanks for that :)
-
Does anyone know if tross pool (burstpool.ddns.net) has a penalty?
-
@Xander52 According to their "How It Works" - http://burstpool.ddns.net/howitwork.html - yes they do.
-
@haitch Is there a way to avoid that problem?
-
@Xander52 Only way to avoid the penalty is to use a single PC, or perhaps submit your Deadlines through a proxy? However the penalty is quite small (-0.001 on each submission) so you could just ignore it?
