You don't need to actually perform the mining with MultiMiner. MultiMiner will automatically detect any other miners on your network as long as their RPC API is enabled. You can monitor and manage those miners from within MultiMiner and benefit from MobileMiner support.
https://github.com/nwoolls/MultiMiner/wiki/Network-Devices#network-devicesSo run CGMiner (however you want) using the --api-listen, --api-port and --api-allow commands and you should be all set. MultiMiner will pick up the miners and submit them to MobileMiner. There's a "Network Only" option under Settings > Advanced Settings specifically for this scenario where MultiMiner will not, itself, be mining.
Try to configure the CGMiner config for this to work:
This is what I got:
{
"pools" : [
{
"url" :,
"user" :,
"pass" :
}
]
,

But MultiMiner isn't picking it up. I'm running MM on the same computer as CGMiner.
: scratch that. In reviewing the network scan code I see I
the local PC IP addresses as an optimization. So for now (until I fix that) you'll need to quit MultiMiner and edit the NetworkDevicesConfiguration.xml file (found in %appdata%\MultiMiner on Windows) and add an entry manually, e.g.:
