Hello,

I have some questions about CGMiner:
can I create multiple workers with CGMiner that mine at the same time but with different login-credentials?
can I set a limit for CGMiner for different workers?
Like:
Worker 1: 50 GH/s power
Worker 2: 150 GH/s power

Thank you!

You CAN have two miners using something like this string:

cgminer -o pool1.com -u user1 -p pass1 -o pool2.com -u user2 -p pass2

but it has to be used in conjunction with load balancing and you'd then set the quota (which is sort of what you're asking in the second question).

If you run it without setting load balancing (option P), it will only mine one pool. Also both pools have to be the same coin, you can't do BTC and LTC for example.

Ok, but can I specify a different rate than 50/50 between two workers, like Worker 1 gets 20% power and the otherone gets 80%?

Thank you, i got it working. DO you also know if I can set a time limit for different workers?
Example:
Worker 1: Mine for 10 hours
Worker 2: Mine for 5 days
