4 workers, how many different pools?

[PaZer]

Hi,

I'm asking you what you think is the better strategy having several workers mining at the same time. Is it better to point them to one pool (e.g. BTC Guild or slush) or to share the mining power across different pools?

Thanks

One pool, with one as backup imo

Probably not worth it to diversify with 4 workers, unless they're all 6990's.

When you have 10 to 100 workers or more then it pays off, because concentrating them all on 1 pool & that pool going down will mean you lose a lot of BTC every hour.

tnx. I'm pointing to one pool. Having one backup set up.

how do you set up backups?

backups are manual step. I got mails send by my mining pool. When I see there is no activity, I login in to the rig and execute some scripts. That's it.
