Morning Bitcoin Talk!
I currently have a cluster of 5 rpi's set-up with miners with them on a 8 port switchboard that contains my main computer on it so they are all interlinked with each other on a very localize network. And i was wondering if i was to run the bitcoin-qt client in server node on my main computer HOW i could get my miners to point to it, would i use i my local ip (e.g: 192.169.0.2:(followed by port) or how would i go about doing such a thing?
P.S i realize that it cannot be profitable and im not looking for it to replace pool mining it wa just a little project that if i could do i could manipulate the whole way my computer system reacts with each other based on different cryptocurrencies
You have 5 rPis with miners. I'm not entirely sure what that means... does each rPi have a USB stick miner attached to it, something like this:I currently have a cluster of 5 rpi's set-up with miners with them on a 8 port switchboard that contains my main computer on it so they are all interlinked with each other on a very localize network.

At any rate, all you need to do is point your mining software to the machine hosting the bitcoin core. For example, on my local network, I have an rPi that controls 5 Antminer U2. I run cgminer on that rPi. I setup my "pool" to be my local bitcoin core. In other words:
Code:
IP address of rPI - 10.0.1.9
IP address of bitcoin core - 10.0.1.14
start cgminer like this:
./cgminer -o http://10.0.1.14:8332 -u USER -p PASSWORD
Code:
server=1
rpcuser=USER
rpcpassword=PASSWORD
rpcallowip=10.0.1.*
