Ethereum: How to connect to RPCPORT=9332 over LAN

Connecting to the Ethereum RPC server on the local network

Ethereum, like other blockchain networks, uses a Remote Procedure Call (RPC) server to facilitate communication between clients and miners. An RPC server works in a network of computers called nodes that are connected via the Internet or local area networks. In this article, we will tell you how to connect to an Ethereum RPC server on a local network using minerd mining software with the provided configuration.

Step by step instructions

• Edit the Litecoin.conf file. As you mentioned, open the litecoin.conf file in a text editor and modify it as follows:

testnet=0

rcpuser=user

rpcpassword=password

rpcport=9332

server=1

This will set the Litecoin RPC server configuration.

• Configure the miner using Litecoin.conf:

On your local machine, install minerd with pip:

pip install minerd

Then open a command prompt or terminal and run the following command to configure minerd using the modified litecoin.conf file:

minerd -c litecoind.conf -testnet=0

This will start the Litecoin mining process on your local computer.

• Check the RPC connection

  

  :

After starting the mining process, you can verify that the RPC server is connected to the network by checking the console output:

minerd -c litecoind.conf -testnet=0

The rpcport parameter should be set to 9332.

• Test with Ethereum RPC client. You can check the connection to the Ethereum RPC server using a client like ethers.js or by simply typing ` in the address bar of your browser (if you are on a local network).

Tips and Options

• If you have problems with the connection, make sure that your Internet connection is stable and the RPC server is not disabled.

• You can configure minerd to use a second port by changing the rpcport parameter in the Litecoin.conf file.

• You can also use a GUI or IDE such as Visual Studio Code to connect to an Ethereum RPC server on your local network without using the command line.

By following these steps and adjusting the configuration if necessary, you will be able to successfully connect to the Ethereum RPC server on your local computer. Good luck hunting!
