Running a BitCoin server is rather easy, and should only take a few minutes to configure. Depending on the abilities of your networked computers, you could take in a few BitCoins in a shorter period of time.
You'll need to create a file bitcoin.conf, which defines the username and password for clients to connect. This file will need to be in your Application Data folder, which was a hidden folder on my windows machine in C:\Documents and Settings\[USER]\Application Data\Bitcoin. Make sure that when you create the bitcoin.conf file, that it is not really named bitcoin.conf.text if you made it on notepad.
Hi,
Thanks for the answer but I have set up my .conf file already with my username and password within the correct file location.
But, I cannot figure out my host and port needed for the game site to find the wallet.
Will the host be my routers IP address, or my computers IP address? When I check if the ports are open on a testing site, the router IP on 8333 is open but the computer IP on 8333 is not. Which one am I meant to input as the host?
Thanks,
