Feature description
- Multiple client installations of Awesome Miner can connect to and manage a single Awesome Miner server.
- Each client connects to the IP address of the Awesome Miner server, signing in with a defined username and password.
- A user can also be signed in on the Awesome Miner server
- Multiple users can be connected to the same Awesome Miner server instance and work simultaneously.
- The clients will only connect to the Awesome Miner server - never directly to a miner.
