Title: Multiple miner, multiple pools
Post by: Darthswan on January 20, 2014, 11:42:18 AM
Morning

I was just curious.  Does anyone have multiple miners and multiple pools?  Reason why I asked, my back up pool is about double the size of my primary pool.  So of course my backup pool finds more blocks than my primary pool.  I'm getting another miner, and curious about placing my back up pool as my primary on this miner.  What are your thoughts?  Thanks.

no point of doing that!
bigger pool = faster block solving but smaller shares
smaller pool = slower block solving but bigger shares
so each way you'l end up with same amount of earned coins.
so my advice, point your miners to same primary pool and.

Yeah I went through that scenario.

For example:

Primary in a day will find 3 blocks = .01...... per block

Back up in a day will find 8 blocks = .006.... per block

Number wise, a good number of days I come out better, than other days.

In the past 24

Primary 4

Backup 11

Backup is about double the size of primary

Are you a player or do you want stable income?
The smaller the pool, the more important is the pool luck. High pool luck on the small pool = higher income than the big pool

Both, if possible.

Unfortunately this is not possible.... ;)
You could choose the large pool and hope that itīs luck will always increase and never decrease ;)
