best way to share 50/50 of whats mined with a friend?

[forzendiablo]

were buying big miner together and want to share everythign we mine [we will do many altcoins].

is there any smart way how this can be done [ie trackign what each worked made] or i should make new accounts on all pools i want to mine and just we send 50/50 with him ?

have all mining done to a public address you both know,  and once a week send him half, half to your personal address

I've just been wondering the same thing; I did as xzempt suggested, but have been trying to work out how to automate this. So having had a read of the CGminer readme, I came up with this:

{
"pools" : [

   {
      "quota" : "1;stratum+tcp://eu.middlecoin.com:3333",
      "user" : "wallet1",
      "pass" : "x"
   },
   {
      "quota" : "1;stratum+tcp://eu.middlecoin.com:3333",
      "user" : "wallet2",
      "pass" : "x"
   },
   {
      "quota" : "0;stratum+tcp://middlecoin.com:3333",
      "user" : "wallet1",
      "pass" : "x"
   },
   {
      "quota" : "0;stratum+tcp://middlecoin.com:3333",
      "user" : "wallet2",
      "pass" : "x"
   }

I don't think this is perfect, though; what I think it will do it to share the results between wallet1 and wallet2 equally, but then if eu.middlecoin.com goes down, it will failover to wallet1 at middlecoin.com

I'm not sure how to get it set up so that if the EU middlecoin server goes down, CGMiner will then share the quote 1:1 between the backup (US) middlecoin server. I'm also wondering how CGminer calculates the load sharing, right now my machine is mining to wallet1, I don't know if it'll just do this for an hour then switch to wallet2. There's only one instance of the program running. If anyone can suggest a better solution to this, much appreciated.

Well that didn't appear to work, CGMiner was just mining towards one wallet for hours. So I tried two instances, with one pointing towards wallet1, the other towards wallet2, but unfortunately the hash rate isn't 50/50 between the 2 instances. Back to square one, perhaps it's not possible to automate this with CGMiner.

Yeah, unfortunately not.
The best way you have for now is probably just to send him half yourself; and let him monitor the progress too! (pool api).

I wonder if there's some way around it with the correct use of the rotate and quota commands...I've sent a PM to the developer of CGMiner, if he doesn't bite my head off for being too direct, I'll share my results if I do manage to get this to work.
