Not from what I have seen on the SP20E, it seems to only operate in failover meaning it will just go in order till it finds a pool to mine from.

Ah well thats a shame

Yes, it is possible. Add "load-balance:true" to the config.template

I have not found a way to assign quotas yet, though. It seems to ignore them if I set them.

Thanks

As it says on the Pools page to change the template, ssh in to your miner and do the edit using:

Code:

vi /etc/cgminer.conf.template

One of these days I will try and incorporate it in the starting line for cgminer. Maybe the quota works that way.

One thing that really sucks about the SP20: Why couldn't they just use cgminer in the way everybody (well, me ) was used to it? We can't upgrade it and we can't do our own confs.

So i just type vi /etc/cgminer.conf.template "load-balance:true" ?

Not quite. vi just calls the vi editor to open that file. To edit it you hit "i", then cursor to the appropriate place (after the first "{", IIRC) and enter the above info, also needs a comma after "true". Then hit Esc and type ":wq". I can't get screen shots at the moment, but can do once I get access again.

Look at this for reference: https://github.com/ckolivas/cgminer/blob/master/example.conf, although it will look quite differently on your screen, i.e. no nice formatting. But the info is the same.

I haven't seen Spondoolies support very active in this sub-forum, so probably it should be mentioned this probably will void your warranty. Also, whilst this works on mine, I'm not saying it will on yours.

I think you got

Code:

"load-balance:true",

Should be

Code:

"load-balance":true,

Sorry, my bad. Just compare it with the other strings already present and you will see how they need to be formed.
