Title: cgminer: mix sha256 and crypt mining? Post by: drlukacs on May 12, 2013, 08:37:12 PM I have 2 different types of cards. One is better for scrypt, while the other two are probably more profitable on sha256 mining.
Is there a way to run a single instance of cgminer that connects to two or more completely different pools, and "routes" work from a given pool to a given card? (This is certainly possible with launching multiple instances of cgminer.) Title: Re: cgminer: mix sha256 and crypt mining? Post by: -ck on May 12, 2013, 10:38:45 PM No
Title: Re: cgminer: mix sha256 and crypt mining? Post by: drlukacs on May 12, 2013, 11:47:20 PM No Is it something worth adding? In general, would it make sense to develop the multi-pool capabilities of cgminer: (a) allowing a percentage of balance between pools (e.g., 30% pool 0, 70% pool 1); (b) complex algorithms (balance pools 0 and 1, and if both fail, then switch to pool 2); (c) mixing sha256 and scrypt, with certain cards assigned to certain pools.

At least item (a) (unequal balancing) would be only a minor tweak of the balancing strategy, would it not? Title: Re: cgminer: mix sha256 and crypt mining?

So, for 40-60, I would need to add one 2 times the other 3 times. :) But implementing the same thing within cgminer should not be that difficult. Title: Re: cgminer: mix sha256 and crypt mining?

Eh, you really need 40-60? 33-66 will do :) Why would you need such a feature anyway? (I'm curious) Title: Re: cgminer: mix sha256 and crypt mining?

Ideally, I would like to see arbitrary percentages, to optimize one's variance as a function of the pool's size. Title: Re: cgminer: mix sha256 and crypt mining? Post by: bitpop on December 17, 2013, 01:04:31 PM Anyone know how to mix multipools? My rejects are high and I think they are interactions. Can I turn off the new block monitoring? I think that's what it does with the other pools.
