Documentation is found here. Followed it, restarted, rebooted, but still didn’t seem to work for me. Anyone else have any success with this modification? too many t-addresses generated (which will be a good problem if it happens in production).
I am running this modification on 1 of my computers. It appears that if a t-address has an immature block it will flip to the next address. I am noticing 3 or 4 addresses being repeatedly used. This is not exactly mining to a single address but still better than a new address every block.
Thanks for your response. I will monitor and see. How many blocks are required before one is matured btw?

If someone has modifications to the modifications for better reliability, let me know and I can update the docs 
Another thing I missed the first time I tried this is the link you provided does not mention recompiling after changing the code, however this one has you recompile with ~/zcash/./zcutil/build.sh -j4. I did not let it run long enough without recompiling to know if that made a difference or not. Maybe someone who is a bit more knowledgeable can let us know if this is a required step.
Yes, any change to the code requires a recompile.
ah, i did not perform that step. just non-dev lay person here following the steps. perhaps good to include the need to recompile in the steps then.
ok. looks to be working after re-compiling using ~/zcash/./zcutil/build.sh -j4 rather than the original compile command ./zcutil/build.sh -j$(nproc)
thanks mv1879, str4d, Shawn23h.
Will this forever stay a patch to the source code? seems like it makes sense to make this a runtime config switch…
