Next question: how do I point multiple rigs at the same wallet? Running Bitmonerod.exe on multiple PCs would download the full blockchain again, and running simplewallet.exe would create multiple wallets. The simpleminer.exe file seems to be the solution, but what is the syntax? If anyone has suggestions/help for running on multiple PCs, I'd appreciate it!
As stated at
http://monero.cc/getting-startedbitmonero.exe MRO_address
(the exact line is
./bitmonerod number_of_threads MRO_address)
1. upload the blockchain out of bitmonero (USB key, scp, ftp, whatever) and place it int .bitmonero (in %APPDATA%)
2. install bitmonero.exe and run
bitmonero.exe MRO_address x (x being your number of threads (CPU*core*2)
You don't need any other file than bitmonero.exe on your extra machines.
Well, you were at least close. Here's the actual command needed to get mining (on Windows):
bitmonerod.exe --mining-threads [threads] --start-mining [address]
The bit about needing the block chain on each mining rig is rather stupid as well -- no other coin I can think of requires the block chain to mine it; you only need the miner software. Yes, you need a wallet somewhere if you want to store it on your own system, but only one wallet, which requires one block chain. Is there a calculator or something that will give an estimated coins (blocks) per day for a given hash rate anywhere?
My take: this coin is more than a little raw (alpha state I'd say, not even at beta level), and getting it on an exchange may only create problems until there's a better front end.
