Title: Why do i need to download cgminer with slushpool?
Post by: liveflipcoin on June 25, 2016, 02:16:40 AM
Is cgminer to slushpool the same as advanced ip scanner for antpool?? Do i have to have a back up pool or is one ok? What do you recommend?

Actually let me rephrase my answer, with a question. What hardware are you using?

You just need to point your miner to a pool. You don't have to have a backup pool, but I'd definitely recommend it, in the event your main pool goes down. Use kano.is as your pool. It pays better. Instructions are on their homepage.

Cgminer is already on your miner and works on either pool.

Cgminer comes pre-installed on your s7. Kano.is is the best. Watch a YouTube on setting up your s7 they make it pretty simple.

No you don't. You only need your laptop to change settings, etc. Other than that the s7 will completely run itself.
