The race is not always to the swift, my good doctor.
Hehe, you are right about that
I hope I'm right in spades. But unless I can beat 000000000000000001480bf37765db8beb84651395cc36e76e2c4e36fbb51026, I doubt it.

i wonder why you would recommend that XD
i think you have an agenda... just my hunch

Send me that knc miner and I'll think about it, lol
Mine faster!

im stuck between 3 pools and this is how iv worked it
Bitminter 10gh
slush 3.5gh
BTCMINE 2gh (tiny pool almost like solo mining)
hopefully ill be adding more soon
i need the knc miner from bitminter my happiness counts on it

BTCMINE 2gh (tiny pool almost like solo mining)

Right now I have 20gh and when I used bfgminer with the usb erupters I could split my power between several pools. I don't see a way to do that with the blades, unless I'm missing something with stratum proxy, as that is what I have to use for slush, and most other pools.
Michael
actually your missng alot you can change where the proxy goes and change ports so you can have 3 proxys on 3 ports to 3 pools so then you log onto your blade and change the ports to diffrent proxys
create a short cut and paste this into the target line after the directory info
-o *pool* -p *poolport* -gp *thegetworkportyouwantyourminerstoconnectto*
i had to do a hell of alot of digging to find this out
I noticed the -gp flag, just never really knew what it did. I really don't mean to hijack the thread, but a getwork proxy, the only one I have come across is poold.py and after reading the code I was able to generate the conf and database file but kept getting json decode errors.
BFG Miner has built in proxy support for blades. Problem solved.
Thank you though,
Michael
bfg and cgminer will both run as just a proxy

That hamster can only go so fast, and I'm running out of oil for his wheel, lol. I don't stand a chance in the race, especially when there is one user at 10 THs.
I do like your service though.

I highly recommend Bitminter. It's super cool.

I actually use bitminter. I'm a very impatient person so it's hard for me to stay at one place. When I started I was using 4 usb erupters and was using bitminter. Now that I have two v2 blades I'm torn between bitparking and bitminter.
Now next year when I buy my Prospero X-3 I'll leave it on bitminter and reap the benefits.

Slushes scoring method means increased variance when the pools' proportion of the network decreases. I'd stick with a pool offering DGM, PPLNS or PPS.
If you choose PPS you don't need to worry about pool size (as long as the pool doesn't look like it will fail and disappear with your money).
If you want to mine DGM or PPLNS, you'd be best off mining at multiple pools to reduce your mining variance:

slush or bitminter. any bigger is to big any smaller is unreliable bitminter dost seem to have long dry spells which is nice
slush is an awesome admin and should be worshiped like a god
set the stratum proxy to change pools. the way they decide to change pools is simple if they dont get a response in x amount of time they assume the pool is offline and change to 2nd pool

Something mid-sized would work well.

I see my doppelganger has arrived 
With my current hashing rate I need to pick a pool and stick to it! I have dabbled with Slushs pool when on 16Ghs but now Im on a healthy 28GHS.
Im currently mining a small pool with a 600GHS hash rate.
With the current difficulty increases, should I play safe and mine with slush?
AS for mining multiple pools in case of failover, how do I configure stratum proxy to switch pools and how do ASIC blades know how to switch servers automatically?
These Asic blades are not as as failover friendly as say a BFL on CGminer.
Thanks
