Multiple workers from single S9

[Stavroski]

Hi All,

I have bought an S9 for my sons and I to play with (more of a learning/fun activity rather than a get rich quick scheme!)

Is there a way to create multiple workers that mine to their own pools from the same s9?

For example?

Assume the s9 runs at 14th.

I want a workers that runs at 4TH for Solo Mining (ckpool)
Son 1 wants his own worker that runs at 5TH on a pool of his choice
Son 2 wants his own worker that runs at 5th on a pool of his choice.

I know this is counter intuitive based on getwork requests, etc but I dont want to buy 3 x S9's that are good for nothing as it is!

Regards
Stav

What you want is parallel mining, it's a long story, the short version of it is "no".

What you can do instead is download AwesomeMiner, it's free since you have only 1 miner, and then use the change pool command based on time intervals and so you can achieve

Son 1 worker : 12AM to 12PM
Son 2 worker : 12PM to 12AM

You can do 6 hours each or any other combination, but try to switch pools as less frequently as possible since it results in a loss of some mining rewards.
