cool wish list. kind of doubt it is possible, but worth asking.
with kano.is and solo.ckpool.org sharing the same code base,
in the future, is it possible to add to a ckpool -p (local middleman) the ability to split active hashing power to each pool?
configurable : 50/50, 80/20, etc. transparent to the src miner.
I think these are the settings you are looking for. Changing "url" to "quota" and specifying the amounts in the format "AMOUNT;URL". It makes it easier to use percents, but it isn't a requirement. For example you could use a quota of 8 for pool1 and 2 for pool2.
...
"pools" : [
{
"quota" : "80;
http://pool1",
"user" : "user1",
"pass" : "123"
},
{
"quota" : "20;
http://pool2",
"user" : "user2",
"pass" : "123"
}
]
,
"load-balance" : true,
...
(I just googled cgminer pool balance)
thanks zOU. google my way thru ssh access to the cgminer conf on the unit.
*** Pool Hopping! Decentralizing as it's best! ***
(Ok, so I wanted a good catch-phrase for this.)
I have been racking my brain to figure out a good load balance/solution to this as easy as possible.
My CGMiner cannot write a config for some reason... :/
I have tried command lines in a batch file for adding pools and load balance and hoping that it will rotate properly without success...
Until I tried...

[PoolRotate.bat]
:start
cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://Pool1:Port -u Username -p Password --shares 1000 --compac-freq 325
cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://Pool2:Port -u Username -p Password --shares 1000 --compac-freq 325
cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://Pool3:Port -u Username -p Password --shares 1000 --compac-freq 325
cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://Pool4:Port -u Username -p Password --shares 1000 --compac-freq 325
goto start

With the number of shares on each command line it will rotate about every 5 minutes. I may try higher number of shares if I want it to work more than 5 minutes on each Pool. If you run the Gekko Science Compac Sidehack-Stick, you may want to make sure to have adequite cooling and voltage settings before attempting. I have a 12Volt 40mm CPU cooling fan strapped on top of mine running on 5Volts(~40C). =D
Here's another example:
---
[PoolRotate.bat]
:start
cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://Pool1:Port -u Username -p Password --shares 9600
cgminer.exe -o stratum+tcp://Pool2:Port -u Username -p Password --shares 2400
goto start
---
With a "WU" value of 200/m this should give a number of shares for the 80%/20% Load Balance over an hour. This will work the first pool to the desired 80% and reload CGMiner and work the desired 20%. You may want to check your "WU" value for each Pool and multiply that by the number of minutes you want to work on the shares for each pool. Don't forget to add the switches and values that run your miner on each cgminer.exe command line.
Good Luck and Have Fun!
P.S. Was there a correct thread for this???
