Title: How Do I Set UP A Backup Pool on CGMiner? Post by: bitbyebit on January 20, 2014, 03:26:14 PM Hi: I had a problem with a pool today. How can I set up CGMIner to switch to another pool in case the first pool goes down? My current .bat is like this:
cgminer.exe --scrypt -I 20,20,20,20 -o stratum+tcp://us-west.multipool.us:3352 -u XXX.1 -p XX --thread-concurrency 22400 --gpu-threads 1 --worksize 256 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-engine 905,905,905,905 --gpu-memclock 1250,1250,1250,1250 --auto-fan --config C:\XXX\xxx\xxx\cgminer-3.1.1-windows\cgminer.conf Thanks for any replies.

The just put a space and start your next pool another -o set of parameters. Add as many pools and/or servers as you want.

What do I need to correct? cgminer-3.1.1-windows\cgminer.exe --scrypt -I 20,20,20,20 -o -u xxx.1 -p x --thread-concurrency 22400 --gpu-threads 1 --worksize 256 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-engine 905,905,905,905 --gpu-memclock 1250,1250,1250,1250 --auto-fan --config C:\xxx\x\x\cgminer-3.1.1-windows\cgminer.conf stratum+tcp://us-west.multipool.us:3352 -o stratum+tcp://us-east.multipool.us:3352 -u xx.1 -p x --thread-concurrency 22400 --gpu-threads 1 --worksize 256 --lookup-gap 2 --gpu-engine 905,905,905,905 --gpu-memclock 1250,1250,1250,1250 --auto-fan --config C:\x\x\x\cgminer-3.1.1-windows\cgminer.conf Title: Re: How Do I Set UP A Backup Pool on CGMiner?

I would recommend using one or the other and not both. Sam Title: Re: How Do I Set UP A Backup Pool on CGMiner? Post by: bitbyebit on January 20, 2014, 05:12:42 PM Thank you buddy. That worked!

The altcoin section has some very knowledgeable folks that are very helpful, probably more so now that there isn't much GPU mining on Bitcoin anymore. Take Care, Sam |
