Why does solo mining need the local wallet?
-
I think I understand that the wallet needs to be running to send the mining info from your computer to the network, but why can't the "online" option of the wallet client be used?
-
@rds On solo mining you send your burst password on commit nonce ... you don't want to send that in clear text through the internet. So it is about secure your account ... technically every wallet out there could be used.

@luxe the wallets at https://wallet.burst-team.us:8125 through 8128 use SSL to encrypt, but local is still probably safer.

@haitch thats true, and everyone using online wallet anyway, could also solo mine through a online wallet ... but do not tell them, we need more nodes!
