Mining the same 1 pool from multiple computers
-
@Burstde You can do it either way. Depending on the pool you use, and whether they implement a penalty for submitting a worse DL than the best one you've submitted, going directly to the pool is easiest.

@Burstde said in Mining the same 1 pool from multiple computers:
@all Would love to learn this method. Right now I have 3 computers with each firing up blago miner and pointing to 1 pool.
If I understand this correctly computer one will run an instance of blago pointed to the pool.
Computer 2 &3 wil run an instance of blago but pointed to the ip adress of computer 1?@Blago made a nice post on bitcointalk about setting this up:

-
seems for clarify I need use in miner a word "aggregator", not a "proxy"?
-
@luxe
One problem with this picture: Default settings for local wallet (Rig#1) in the "nxt.default.properties" is to listen to localhost (127.0.0.1) port 8125. Blago's miner on network computers (Rig#2, 3) will not start or will crash as it cannot connect to Wallet's API server (Rig#1).
Changing API server to listen to 0.0.0.0 will cause "Cannot connect to server" error, even when combined with "allowedBotHosts" parameter.
My workaround was to update info from proxy address (Rig#1 port 8126) or the Pool address (i.e: "UpdaterAddr": pool.burstcoin.io port 8124)
-
@rnahlawi
also for Rig#2, 3 you may use address and port "proxy"
"UpdaterAddr" : "192.168.1.1",
"UpdaterPort": "8126",
-
I think aggregator would be a better choice of word. proxy sort of threw me off when i was reading through the config file
-
@rnahlawi I know this is old but I hope you are still around. When I set up the proxy on Computer B, I am able to save the miner.conf file, no problems, however, when I then start burst client and click, start mining, it changes the conf file back to pool.burstcoing.sk. Do I have to change the reward assignment or something else? Thanks!
-
@cannabisdreams No you have to change the conf file again, then start the miner from the same folder you changed the conf file... When you start the miner from the AIO client it overwrite the conf file... ;D
-
@gpedro Thank you!! I had to download the miner v1.6, the AIO (ver 1.0) did not work as a stand alone. Then I had an error finding my plots file... it was under C:\burst\plots instead of c:\plots... got it all figured out and now it seems to be working perfectly. Thank you again!
Damn, I was wrong, it went right back to the pool address. Should I uninstall burst client? and start over with v1.6?
-
@cannabisdreams You don't need to unninstall the client, just if you edit things manually, you have to start it manually too, when you hit the button to open the miner in the AIO client it changes the conf file, then starts the miner... If you don't want the AIO to change the conf file you have to do it manually... ;D
