Title: ok to set up miner with two different pools?
Post by: broken08 on January 04, 2018, 05:53:32 PM
When running my older s7, my 3 antpool pools will occasionally all read dead and the miner will beep. Today I reset it 3 times and no change. Yes internet was good. So for the time being I made the third pool my slushpool.
Is there any problem with this? What happens when antpool and slushpool are both alive and running on my machine?
Will it end up with lower overall rewards since its splitting the efforts?

Your miner can only mine on one pool at a time. It'll find an active pool and stay there until it is reset, that pool dies, it loses internet, or something causes it to switch pools.

You should move this to Miner Support.

so even though they all say "Alive" it will, presumably, default to pool 0 whenever it is active?

yes, it does them in order of priority.
