Guys, I m noooob miner,  I was wondering if I mine (cudaminer)  with 2 PC on a 3rd PC's wallet  (all pc on same lan Wink ) the hashrate is going to be what excepted  pc 1 hashrate + pc2 hashrate or I m missunderstand something ? Do I need 2 wallets?  Smiley

Thanks

I'm guessing you're talking about solo mining, in which case you use the LAN IP adress and such for the set-up, instead of local-host, as far as I know. As for two wallets, one for each, that is recomended, because if the computer with the wallet goes down for any reason, you can't mine. A wallet for each rig would be more redundant and reliable, and you could just wire the cash to the central wallet when you feel like it. For external acces to the rig without having to put a screen and K&B on it, use programs like teamviewer.

Thanks! yes, I forgot to write that i try to solo mining :-) . I still have concerns about hashrate being rig1+rig2, because I dont know with what logic Cudaminer generate hashes , maybe 2 istances of cudaminer 1 on each rig generate the same hashes ? I know this is the basic of mining for you guys, but I dont know where to find such informations.

I am no solo miner, but I'm gonna tel what I'm thinking, and if I am wrong, we will know soon enough.

You set up your miner and point it towards the wallet. Your miner starts working on the block, working just as long till it gets a valid outcome, or if the block gets solved by someone else. If you use multiple rigs, and this is the point which gets me doubting myself, they start working on the same block, and whichever gets it first gets the valid message and the cash. This is comparable with needing to roll at least one six on a dice to win, but now you're rolling with two dices. The other option is that they work at different blocks, but it still doubles your chances.

As for the hashrate, provided you get each card at 99-100 utilization, you get your max hashrate. If you do not reach that, you can try running two instances on the same card to get max utilization, which would again use the first example I just said, but now on one rig.

Again, I am not sure, can someone confirm or disprove this for me?
