Thanks, I understand that and my port 8333 is correctly forwarded to my 24/7 Bitcoin machine.
However, lets say that I have 2 machines on the same IP running Bitcoin without port 8333 forwarded on either !
Bitcoin node (1) 192.168.0.2
Bitcoin node (2) 192.168.0.3
So, I would guess that 192.168.0.2 machine would receive the bitcoins because it is the first IP on the sub-net ?
The connection won’t get through at all if the port is not forwarded.
Not so ? I have had 2 machines connected (getting 4+ connections on each) and generating Bitcoins on the same static IP address. The port 8333 is of course forwarded for connection through my firewall, which I guess is what you mean. However, connections to other nodes are made without port 8333 being specifically forwarded through my router to a specific machine (sub-net IP), which is of course the best way to max connectivity. I understand Bitcoin only requires 1 other connection for transactions, yes ?
I think my original question was valid and thanks for clarifying this everyone. NewLibertyStandard I think is correct “If I remember correctly I think I was told that they would be sent to the first bitcoin application with whom the sender connects.”
I dislike communication on forums, it’s hard to discuss topics sometimes when all parties mean the same thing and communicate it in a different way ! Smiley
I have enough internet connections, routers and PC equipment - So, I’m off to make an ‘official’ test for myself whilst I RTM Grin
