My question is: is it possible to use the same key on both computers?
If yes, how?
yes, another "how-to" for us to add to our docs:
1. generate your database and key on computer A
$ monotone genkey address@hidden
2. write the public *and private* packets to a file
$ monotone pubkey address@hidden >>my-key-pair.txt
$ monotone privkey address@hidden >>my-key-pair.txt
3. copy the file to another computer
$ scp my-key-pair.txt computer-b.com:my-key-pair.txt
4. read the key into the monotone database on the other computer
$ monotone read <my-key-pair.txt
if you have further difficulties with this, please let us know. it is
definitely *supposed* to work :)
