Title: Adding/Changing priority of a pool in a S3 Post by: paramind22 on November 06, 2016, 04:33:57 PM I would like to add another pool and change the order. I did that in the config page of the miner, and added my BTC address to the pool's web interface but it is not accepting it yet. Does it take a while? Or, do I have to restart the miner, do something in the config page of the miner to reset it to act differently and change the order/add a pool?

Meaning the miner will be active on only one pool at a time. Whichever pool is in the top slot will have priority. No restarts are necessary, just save the settings and you should be good to go.

Thanks. I must be doing something wrong. For some reason, when I saved and applied, it didn't show up in miner status. The miner stopped eventually and beeped. I turned it off and on again and I'm using the old pool. I did it twice like this and it didn't take. One possibility may be that my new BTC address with my green wallet is wrong. I don't like the way addresses are re-assigned, it seems like a hack. I noticed coinbase does this, and with green wallet, when I booted up the app, the address it listed for me was different than the one they gave me last time.

Each pool will give you details on where to point the miner to and usually you have a username and worker name you need to put in the miner config page aswell.
