You don't need "lots". I have a mining rig that boots from a 30GB usb pen with Windows 7 64bits and many utilities installed. I have 2 wallets open and there are still 16 GB free.

You can use a wallet that doesn't need the full blockchain, such as MultiBit

Have a look at this thread: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/block-chain-sizestorage-and-slow-downloads-for-new-users-252937

Hi,

as title says, this is the question that is bothering me. AFAIK, with solo mining, you need lots of disk space in order to download the blocks.
One solution I can think about is running the wallet and server on my laptop within the same home router DHCP network as the rigs and point the rigs to my laptop.
However, I am not quite sure how to do this, can you please help me with some ideas?  Roll Eyes

Thanks in advance!
