Title: using 2 different miners on the same computer
Post by: Florida-Man on November 29, 2021, 02:47:02 AM
I know I'm a bit late to the game, but I'm trying to catch up.  I have started a small rig, as I am just trying to learn the hobby.  I have a few (don't laugh) gridseed orbs.  Again, I want to learn without investing 1000's.

I ordered another rig, a bit stronger, gridseed blade.

I am using BFG miner.

My current bat file looks like this

Bfgminer -S gridseed:all --set-device gridseed:clock=850 --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://us.litecoinpool.org:3333 -u XXXX.1 -p XXXX  All is working well.

What I am trying to figure out is how to have the both gridseed devices blade and orb running off the same computer, or do I need to use separate laptops to handle different devices?

Also, is there a way to mine 2 different pools?   Orb 1 ltcpool, blade 1 xhaspool
Sorry for the stupid questions....  Thank you in advance.

Should just have to have it execute another instance or miner for the other device.

yes you can separate running hardware in same computer, and using 2 instance for 2 device, the logic same apply with different config or pool as you want

even single gpu can run multiminer multipool multialgo and crashing, remember good old day when mining script in single gpu using 3 instance with different config

You can easily run two miners in hiveOS, I can mine ETH algorithm with few cards and point the rest to ravencoin algorithm, I don't know how to do this on windows OS but I find it more easier with hive OS, you can use two different pools at once

Product Key Features:
"Hash AlgorithmScrypt, SHA-256

These are not video cards. I also learn a lot about old mining hardware on this forum.
I am against mining on such devices because of the very low hash rate.
