I run multiple instances of cgminer-nogpu and point a specific number of Block Erupters at each pool that I want. And of course have multiple failover pools in each instance.
Not sure if that would be good for you since you don't say what your mining devices are. But it works great for me.

You see, now this doesn't make sense to me. When starting a block, I see it like a lottery. There are a finite number of possibilities to test. Granted it is a large number, but finite just the same. When you test one possibility and it fails, the number of possibilities available to the next test is one less. Until the block that you are working on is found, your odds against finding it would decrease. When the block is found, you are starting over in the sense that you have to create a new input to hash and go back to having that very large number of possibilities to work from. I'm told that this way of looking at it is wrong, and i accept that, it just doesn't make any sense to me.
That sounds very interesting and plausible to me. I hadn't considered it in those terms before. However I think the reality is very different as I don't think anyone is keeping track of actual "progress" of the permutations that have been tried. Edit: I believe time and date are part of the data being hashed. So being that the solution is time traveling, is there really a finite number of possible solutions? Edit 2: Also the hash we are looking for isn't a static/specific one. We are just looking for one that meets or exceeds the current difficulty. So there could be an infinite number of solutions, or so it seems to me. |

Part of unknown is definitely the 100TH project which left BTC Guild to start solo mining in the last week. They're not on your list. They told me they were going to be tagging coinbases, but apparently something broke because I can't find any.
Thanks eleuthria. They only just started to sign the coinbase at block 261530, and then proceeded to solve another 15 in 186000 seconds, which puts them at about 55Thps. Interestingly, 186000 is the number of miles light travels in a second. I do so enjoy pointless asides. actually, it is 186285 miles per second in a vacuum<sp>. I was quoting the number of miles light travels in a um not quite vacuum. Is the speed of light really influenced by matter it passes through, or by? I have never heard that. |

I need to think on this. thanks for being patient with me.
At least you know what you don't know  |

omg half a million "cpu" miners!  Exactly! Botnets represent such a small portion of the hash rate that it is irrelevant. It's shameful that the article would say something like that now. |

I think there are better reasons to mine then just a quick ROI.

There are only two that do failover as far as I know. That is the main feature that makes a mining software these days.

It's covered in the Advanced USB Options in the readme.

Im a fan of Cgminer, is there a way to get my blade working with it. Mining Proxy and Bfg keep loosing connection.
Have you tried mining on getwork pools? |

I just run Bitcoin-QT as my last pool in my failover list. Only one pool out of 3, 4 counting Bitcoin-QT, was having problems. It used to be that all/most pools would be DDoS'd at the same time. This one fairly tame in comparison.

My workers are still reporting it dead.

So there is no way to withdraw these?
Not until you reach the .01 minimum, just as the text below your balance states. |

apparently windows does not like 3 pools in the target line under crate a shortcut.. wont start up with all that in it. so my next option is? sorry for being a noob.  Create a .bat file and direct your shortcut to that. |

Deepbit actually solved two blocks last night!
I got over 0.1 BTC in rewards, but am only able to transfer out whole bitcents so I have 0.00977515 BTC leftover which is very annoying! We can never close out the whole balance? I can see automatic payments only being in increments of 0.01, but if we do an instant payout it should give everything.
Or, if you wanna keep it, give me a "donate remaining balance to pool" option. It just peeves me that there will ALWAYS be numbers in my account and can never make it 0.00000000. Yes, you CAN withdraw everything down to 0.00000000 BTC Only automatic payments have 0.01 BTC precision, but if you have over 0.01 BTC in your account, you can go to "Payments" page, copy-paste your total balance in the request form and click the button. It won't be rounded. I can't see a request form. Where is it? Go to "Payments". It is the editable field to the left of the "Instant Payout" Button. |

and it will revert back over to btcguild once all is good?
Yes. |

.............. What's that button for...........
That's the button you click to change the pool luck. You didn't press it did you?!?!?! Oh, damn. Sorry.... I just wondered what it did. Quick - How do you un-click it? Is it a toggle? Dunno? I wonder if it's part of the 51% Mitigation plan? |

I am so nervous about viruses and such off a Google search. My McAfee will not be here until next week.
Thank you
McAfee is the second to last scanner I would use these days. Go to ninite.com and download the installer for M$ Security Essentials and Malwarebytes. Sam |
