Topic: Does bitcoin.exe have to stay open? (Read 2486 times)
So it's only purpose to me, as a GPU miner, would be to track my wallet.dat? And that's only if I'm actually USING said wallet? Interesting... thanks!
I followed a setup guide that included running bitcoin.exe -server, then sending any GPU bitcoins found to said bitcoin wallet. My question is, is running bitcoin.exe necessary at all if I am using pooled mining (deepbit), and connecting directly to deepbit's servers?
No, it's not necessary.And don't enable it's "Generate coins" option - it's useless.
Not necessary to keep it running at all (my mining machine doesnt even have the client installed). I just sync the wallet once a week from any mining payouts I've gotten. Then rinse/repeat
