8550 Connect
8551 JSON RPC
Maybe this is why i can never connect solo - what are these ports for?
I get the config and the , pointing back from the miner to the config.
but what are the above ports for, (opening netstat right now.)
8550 => communication between nodes, don't change it (don't use port=8550 in nibble.conf)
8551 => point your miner to it (you can change it with rpcport=1234 and then point your miner to ip:1234)
Ok friend thank you - so the 8551 was just the suggested as connetion from miner to config and client (but any listening port can be used) , and the the 8550 is what and put where?
There are no suggestions, there are hardcoded, but you can change them with the .conf file. Just try not changing them (don't use port and rpcport options in the nibble.conf file and point your miner to ip:8551)
