Title: Mining on two pools as a load balancer Post by: leifg on June 08, 2011, 11:38:31 AM Hello everyone,
as the us server of eligius is currently down, I was thinking about what the best way is to implement a load balancer. I thought the easiest way would be to start 2 mining tools on 2 different pools. The hashrate per miner would then equally distributed on two pools, but as one pool goes offline, the hashrate on the other pool would then go to 100%. Is there anything wrong with that approach. Are there any other advantages of multiple mining (I currently only have one gpu) or am I missing something and that is actually a really bad idea?

If I give one miner the -f60 tag so that the majority of the hash rate goes to one pool my gpu usage drops to 90% and I lose about 10% total hash rate. Any ideas? I would like one primary pool and one backup rather then two pools always with 50%
