Title: Failover?
Post by: gochk on July 09, 2011, 05:13:59 AM
Hi all

I'm not trying to pool hopping; but, the pool I am right now disconnects me from time to time and cannot reconnect (for some reason). And I could be sleeping or at work and not able to change pools. Like last night, I only receive 400+ shares when I could be getting 2000++ shares.  So, all that time, I was just wasting my electricity for nothing in return.

So I was wondering if there's any way to do a failover ... say pool 1 disconnects me and never got connected for 10 secs or so, I can failover to pool 2. Can anyone show me how? I am running phoenix 1.50.

Thanks!

Not familiar with phoenix, but is there a --help command or something that you can run it with? Maybe a --fallback or --backup command?

Sorry I use poclbm.

If you're running Linux, SmartCoin supports automatic failover, multiple instances, profiles and more
