there goes my evening :o

I was hoping to get some work done this evening, but it looks like that's out the window since I've been dogeing it up, learning the ways of the dogecoin.

I downloaded cgMiner - how can you tell which pool is a good/legit one to join? Anyone have any recs?

Thanks!

I've been on http://doge.pool2.webxass.de/ for few days and looks like it is stable now. No problems with auto payments also.
Looks like http://fast-pool.com is also OK. It has about 3x less users, but shouldn't make any difference at the end.

i use http://doge.netcodepool.org
it's ok, but 2% fee and difficulty so high now
much
wow

i tried posting a reply but it said i need to wait 320 seconds, then after waiting, it said "you already posted that" - so i refreshed my topic and didn't see the reply! sketchy weird stuff abound.

is there any reason to join more than one pool? or is it better to focus resources on 1?

thanks!

One reason to join more than one pool is for the failover to continue mining. If your main pool is down, cgminer can switch to the backup pool with the following parameters --failover only -o stratum+tcp://pool:port.

crazy coincidence, the one i was just using went down! that's cool that you can set a failover, thanks for the tip!
