Multipool drops and disconnects and middlepool the same

[noobinscrypt]

have four machines, three two card setups.

keep having one or two of my machines when I check it (havnt installed cgwatcher is it good and will let me know when my machine goes down??) its not putting out heat/not working. when check cgminer it says its doing something but its not. very frustrating as I lost about 2.5mh/s most of the day and didn't notice. also middlecoins site wasn't updating today!

used to use litecoinpool and its always consistent and with rmail if idle worker.

anyone have any suggestions or programs I can use? (like cgwatcher which I havnt tried yet?)

I don;t now how to do it in cgminer (google it, it's easy) but you can setup a backup pool if the first one fails to connect

so as soon as there's a problem with 1 pool, it jumps over to the second

iirc, you can also set it to check back on the first pool at a set time interval to see if its's backup

if you're using middlecoin.com

you can use eu.middlepool.com too - there European server which updates to the same stats/payout page


in cgminer, you should be able to to set more than one backup miner, so you can put a whole list in there if you like :-)

@Noobinscrypt Just use CGminer because that's a really very simple program.
