Not from what I have seen on the SP20E, it seems to only operate in failover meaning it will just go in order till it finds a pool to mine from.

Yes, it is possible. Add "load-balance:true" to the config.template

I have not found a way to assign quotas yet, though. It seems to ignore them if I set them.

As it says on the Pools page to change the template, ssh in to your miner and do the edit using:

Code:
vi /etc/cgminer.conf.template

One of these days I will try and incorporate it in the starting line for cgminer. Maybe the quota works that way.

One thing that really sucks about the SP20: Why couldn't they just use cgminer in the way everybody (well, me ;)) was used to it? We can't upgrade it and we can't do our own confs.  ???

Not quite. vi just calls the vi editor to open that file. To edit it you hit "i", then cursor to the appropriate place (after the first "{", IIRC) and enter the above info, also needs a comma after "true". Then hit Esc and type ":wq". I can't get screen shots at the moment, but can do once I get access again.

Look at this for reference: https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/example.conf, although it will look quite differently on your screen, i.e. no nice formatting. But the info is the same.

I haven't seen Spondoolies support very active in this sub-forum, so probably it should be mentioned this probably will void your warranty. Also, whilst this works on mine, I'm not saying it will on yours.  :P

I think you got
Code:
"load-balance:true",

Should be
Code:
"load-balance":true,

Sorry, my bad. Just compare it with the other strings already present and you will see how they need to be formed.
