Hi
i have just put 3 blades on this
and it works very well
the cpu overhead is much less with BFGminer
thanks for the info Guys

Interesting... I'll look into doing just that. Thanks.
That I'm not sure on. I don't see any failover or backup references in the help (mining_proxy.exe -h). With blades specifically though, they require two servers to be configured so if you set failover there, if the mining proxy can't connect to stratum the blade should switch to its backup server after around two minutes. You can configure a backup proxy, or point straight to a pool's getwork server.
Not sure what conflicts would arise from running two instances of stratum proxy. If you use the -gp option, you can specify a different port for the proxy to listen on; it may be possible to run two concurrent proxies aimed at different pools, listening on different ports, so when the one fails, the blade will automatically connect to the second when it times out.

Thanks. Is there a way to define a failover pool in the slush proxy? or... could you point me to a readme or similar faq for that proxy program? Thanks
It looks to be that BFG's stratum proxy is not implemented for Win64
Also, Slush's mining proxy can be used for other pools:
mining_proxy.exe -o pooserver -p stratumport
Also, Slush's mining proxy can be used for other pools:
mining_proxy.exe -o pooserver -p stratumport
I could only find a few threads regarding setup (usually as a result of problems and/or Q&A), so I wanted to see if we can get a basic setup guide going? If there's already one, please point me, as I couldn't find it. Too many subforums here... lol
So, from what I gathered, there's 2 ways to run lots of them at once. Slush's proxy, or bfgminer's --http protocol. Info from what I know below. I will edit it as I get more responses from the community so correct info is in here.
Slush (mining_proxy.exe)
Defaults to Slush's pool
Create *.bat file with "mining_proxy.exe -o pooserver -p stratumport" for connection to other pools
Blade settings:
DNS: IP_OF_ROUTER
server: IP_OF_PROXY_COMPUTER
Port: 8332
BFGMiner --http proxy (Win x32 only)
Create *.bat file with:
bfgminer --http-port 8332 -S erupter:all -o stratum+tcp://stratum.enabled.pool.address -u user.worker -p password
Blade settings:
DNS: IP_OF_ROUTER
server: IP_OF_PROXY_COMPUTER
Port: 8332
User: [each blade should have a different login; ie - Blade01, Bloade02, etc.]
Pass: [anything you want]
