I have a specific question about mining two or more different scrypt coins with the same cgminer instance  (all specified in conf file, with failovers, etc).

On startup, I see a log like this:


Code:
 [2014-02-05 06:58:22] Started cgminer 3.7.2
 [2014-02-05 06:58:22] Loaded configuration file /etc/bamt/cgminer.conf
 [2014-02-05 06:58:23] Probing for an alive pool
 [2014-02-05 06:58:23] Network diff set to 10
 [2014-02-05 06:58:23] Block change for http://[internal-ip-solo-mining-wallet-for-COIN_A]:3333 detection via stratum+tcp://stratum.[external-COIN_B-pool-domain-name]:3333 stratum
 [2014-02-05 06:58:23] Pool 1 difficulty changed to 128
 [2014-02-05 06:58:24] Network diff set to 1.1K

I am load balancing my pools (using quotas) and my priority/most hashing power goes towards solo mining against a wallet daemon I am running on another system.  We'll call this COIN_A.

I also have a pool setup for COIN_B, also on a quota under the load balancing.


What is that line that says "Block change?"  That is very odd to me, because those are two different coins.  Why does one coin "via" affect the other coin's "Block change?"
