Title: Antminer Configuration Post by: SkaWeasel on January 20, 2017, 04:17:24 PM Hi guys, I have one question, It's the same if I configure only one Pool in the antminer or should I configure the 3 fields that I have for the pool?
If it's needed what is the benefit of doing this? Another thing, if it's recommended which addresses should I put for slush pool, or in all the fields should be the same? Regards :) Title: Re: Antminer Configuration Post by: wmabern on January 21, 2017, 12:21:41 AM Hi guys, I have one question, It's the same if I configure only one Pool in the antminer or should I configure the 3 fields that I have for the pool?

Regards :) You should put DIFFERENT pool addresses in each of the 3 fields. They are for fail-over. If #1 goes down, it goes to pool #2, etc. If you are NOT in China, please choose pools on this side of the Great Fire-wall. Slush is a good choice for one of the pools. Kano could be another good choice. Then pick a pool to fill out the third pool field. A little research on pools and luck/variance will go a long way! Good luck.

It is very close to 100% though.You should also take into account the minimum payout. You won't send many shares to the backup pool. Hence, you should choose one with a very low minimum payout. I chose a solo mining pool for this reason (no minimum but you have to solve the block by yourself). |
