Mining with Windows Part 5: Solo mining with more PCs that point to one PC with

wallet

Background:
If you have more than one mining PC then with solo mining on every miner has to run a wallet.
That increases the complexity and also increases the possible sources of errors.

That you can run the wallet at only one PC and point all other to them, i show you here two
solutions.

Solution 1: Open the wallet for incoming connections from your other PCs.

Requirements:
- A running and working blago miner on your main PC
- A running wallet on your main PC

Open the Port in your Firewall:


1. On your PC with the running wallet do the following
2. Open your System Settings and then your Windows Firewall.
3. Open enhanced settings
4. Click on incoming rules
5. Then New
6. Then Port
7. Then TCP and in Ports write 8125
8. Next and then Allow Connetions
9. Then Next Next
10. Give the Rule the Name 8125 and Finish

Allow incoming connections for your wallet:


1. Close your wallet, if running
2. Navigate in Explorer to the Install Path of your Wallet
3. Open the nxt.-default.properties file in the subfolder \conf
4. Change the setting nxt.allowedBotHosts= to nxt.allowedBotHosts=*
5. Change the setting nxt.apiServerHost=127.0.0.1 to nxt.apiServerHost=0.0.0.0
6. Save and restart your wallet

Point your other miners to the PC with wallet:

1. Now you have to change your other miners config to use the wallet running on
your main Miner
2. On your main miner open a command, type in ipconfig and write down the ipV4
adress

3. On your miners config files of your mining PCs without wallet, point your miner to
this ipv4 adress.
4. For example, if you use blago miner, use for the both settings "Server" :
"127.0.0.1",
"UpdaterAddr" : "127.0.0.1", instead of 127.0.0.1 the ipv4 adress of your miner
with wallet
