Guys, make use of the --failover-only command in cgminer, so that if pool A goes down your miner automatically switches to pool B or C and so on.
Example usage:
cgminer --scrypt -o stratum+tcp://doge.netcodepool.org:4094 -u yourusername -p yourpassword --failover-only -o stratum+tcp://doge.scryptpools.com:3333 -u yourusername -p yourpassword --failover-only -o http://37.187.25.91:9555 -u yourDOGEaddress -p yourpassword --failover-only -o http://pool.hostv.pl:9555/ -u yourDOGEaddress -p yourpassword --temp-target 72 --auto-fan -I 13 -w 256 -g 2 --thread-concurrency 8192 --gpu-memclock 1500 --gpu-engine 1020 --gpu-powertune 0
Has worked like a charm for me. Two normal pools and two p2pools. Since I prefer a pool where I can check on my workers via a website, I have set the p2pools as failover C and D. But I recommend using p2pool if you have a decent hashrate.
Hi, I have about 90.000 khs. Why do you recommend me only using p2pool and not a 'normal' pool?
Thanks!
90 Mh/s or 90 Kh/s? With 90 Kh/s you're better off using a pool that has a low minimum payout threshold. With 90 Mh/s you could go solo.
Why use p2pool? Because you get paid tx fees, the pool fees are usually max 1%, no registration is needed and the uptime is excellent. Very few complications in other words. Not to mention the coins get deposited straight into your wallet.
Yes, 90mh/s - currently about 38-40 servers running. Going to add a few more...
The miners are unix based. Should i get a windows QT version up and running, and mine directly to that?
