I have 30 linux shells pumping out 7-8 hpm per minute each, running the protoshares bitcoind client, but I have a few concerns.
1) I cloned all of them so I was worried they are performing the same work, especially since the first new block found registered across all of the machines. I know that's not a direct correlation, and it's likely a pregenerated address for mining purposes, but im wondering if there is effective hashing randomization. Waiting for the next block, though I'll probably be checking each machine manually to find it (?) EDIT: listtransactions command is showing identical new activity across all machines...specifically an immature block. Am I analyzing this correctly? Does the client have a pool of pregenerated addresses?
2) Every new block reward is assigned to a new address, and I am looking for a way to easily have all new coins mined go to the same address.
3) It's a headache to do and monitor everything manually across all the shells, any ideas how to manage them all at the same time? pool? script?
Thanks.
