Title: can i mine with one device 4 pool's in the same time?
Post by: mikestro on January 04, 2014, 04:00:39 AM
i have the bfl 25g and is it possible to limit the speed and use it to mine lets say 4 pool to together to give each 6.5g or to give on 7 the other 2 etc?
their are many other alt coins that use sha 256 i want to redirect and mine 4 alt types of coins in the same time
is it possible with one device?

Yes. CGMiner's --balance or --load-balance functions are designed for this. Read the CGMiner README and you can see the difference between the two, and how you can tweak your hashrate to split it up exactly how you want. Works pretty well, actually.

Some real experts involved in the mining game these days. Amazing how peoples desire for an easy buck gets them in completely over their head.

Hey now. We were all noobs once. I don't want to think of all the noobish questions I used to ask...

I just re-read this. You can't mine multiple types of coins on the same hardware. That is also right in the CGMiner README. You can split the hashrate up between several Bitcoin pools, but you can't mine Bitcoin and Terracoin at the same time.
