Title: Redundancy in CGMiner. Please help!
Post by: tatsuchan on October 13, 2012, 11:48:34 AM
I prefer litecoinpool, however, I noticed the site/connection goes down a lot. (at least for me)  Happened several times from seconds to hours over the last week.  My question: Is there a way to make cgminer switch to a secondary pool if the first one stopped connecting for say the last 1 minute?  Also, would it be possible to have cgminer switch back to litecoinpool after a specified amount of time?

Thanks in advance guys.

Hi,

It does that by default. Just specify a second pool on your config file and it will switch to that when the first one fails and then come back to the main one as soon as it's available again.  ;)
