12:50:36 <MrCollinsGA> if I have multiple headless local to me baremetal ubuntu machines, is it best to use an online wallet? 
13:10:22 <MrCollinsGA> how do I run monerod in the background so I can begin mining? 
13:11:21 <MrCollinsGA> I just have a pile of messages like this just scrolling: 2022-02-23 13:10:22.749 I Synced 1xxxxx/2xxxxxx (6%, 2xxxxxx left)
13:14:45 <MrCollinsGA> do I need multiple wallets or just one if I have multiple machines? can I mine with xmrig AND have monerod running on the same machine? 
13:29:21 <tidux> lol that's the initial sync, you have to wait for it to finish
13:29:49 <tidux> if you're running on HDD expect it to take at least a full day even if you're not network bottlenecked
13:45:19 <moneromooo> --detach to run in the background. That won't allow you to mine though.
13:46:00 <moneromooo> (with monerod anyway: with a pool, you rely on the info sent by the pool)
13:46:25 <moneromooo> You can run xmrig and monerod on the same machine if you have the RAM.
13:47:20 <moneromooo> You can use the same wallet on multiple machines, but if you don't have a shared amount, info stored by one machine will not be available to others (such as secret tx keys).
