Title: can i run two miner process same time? Post by: ggbtctalk000 on February 04, 2018, 06:48:26 PM i am able to run same miner twice as separate processes, is it bad?
On miner with 4 gpu-s i issued miner along with necessary parameters twice and second time I issued it simply spawned another process and nvidia output shows there are miners for each GPU running.

I'd suggest you look at what your actual hash rates are. hint: context switching is not effective mining time. Title: Re: can i run two miner process same time?

In other words, If I wanted to use nichash and mine Vivo on altminer, I can? |
