[4+ EH] Slush Pool (slushpool.com); Overt AsicBoost; World First Mining Pool

[GodfatherBond]

I see so many discussions about setting difficulty manually that I wrote a thread about it.

Thank you, good reading / info.
From your thread above "Set your diff to your worker's hashrate in GH / 1.4",
so quite optimal dif with 108 Gh/s shoud be: 108 / 1.4 = 77 dif?

Yes, or rounded down to 64 if you prefer powers of two.

w00t! dat feel when we follow up a longer round with two fast ones ^_^

Nothing like waking up to the same block from the night before.

I know I was disappointed. 8 hours+ so far

I was off for 3 months from the slush pool, started mining again 2 days ago.

Unfornunately Namecoin mining appears not to be working anymore. I've started the namecoin daemon, it has downloaded all the blocks (128005), my namecoin address is still the same in the slush account setting. For 2 days I have not received any namecoins (even unconfirmed) at all.

I've switched to Bitminter, and Namecoin mining works just fine there.

Would please someone help me!?

Namecoin mining isn't available on the pool when using stratum.  Since getwork is no longer supported, namecoin mining is no longer available on Slush's pool.

NMC mining does not work anymore, cause it is not supported by Slush's Pool

[Kuroth]

Might have to try this pool someday..

Thanks. This means I'll stay on Bitminter. I really liked the Slush pool. But farming without Namecoins is not an option for me.

I need help figuring out if what I'm trying to do is possible.

I use BFGMiner with 10 ASIC block erupters. I need 5 erupters to go to a different wallet than one I have all of them configured.

Is it possible to define two separate login information on one computer?

Can I run two instances of BFGMiner and define which erupters are used with each instance?

I appreciate any help.

Someone asked something similar on my build log (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=255582.20 post 37). I was doing a comparison between btcguild PPS vs btcguild PPLNS vs slush (better with slush I thought after a week). For my setup on my raspberry pi I had it to run three instances of CGminer each using different block erupters (2 each), so I had different -S tags in the script that would load up cgminer automatically on power up (but on PC you can just put this in your .exe command to run), and then each using a different .conf file with different worker and server settings. All instances worked perfectly, although there was a warning about the API being already in use but this was a non-fatal warning and did not effect mining. I am assuming the BFGMiner is written very similarly to CGMiner so a first job would be to check this but quite possible then

Why not just run the Load Balancing option after you've set up the pools?

[elasticband]

you can run as many instances of bfgminer as you would like, i tend to create a worker for each hub i am running

[mdopro1]

That's exactly what I want to do. one worker for each hub but also different account.

I suppose having two copies of bfgminer is good but one of them will need to avoid using gpu. that's -g switch I think.

[elasticband]

-S all -- disable gpu

Got stuck at the fact I don't know how to tell each instance to use which devices in the config file or file parameters.

Got stuck at the fact I don't know how to tell each instance to use which devices in the config file or file parameters.

When you run bfgminer dont you pass it information about the devices to use? like:

bfgminer.exe -o http://stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333 -u username -p password --icarus-options 115200:1:1 --icarus-timing 3.0=100 -S //./COM4

You can then save this as a desktop shortcut or some kind of .bat to autorun on boot. Then create a duplicate of this specifying different com ports for each of your devices and different worker details.

There is probably a better way to specify this in a config file but I have forgotten how. I'm sure someone else with clearer instructions will come along.

Since all of the mining hardware is identical and an even number I would just wait for the pay out and then send 1/2 of the amount to another wallet.  ie...If it takes you six weeks to mine 1 BTC just send .5 BTC to the other wallet after the pool pays out.
