Well, the balanced thing would be fine but I don't believe the sp20 allows any flags. I'll try and get back thanks.
I think I once read (don't remember where) that it is possible to do balancing by editing cgminer.conf.template, but if I recall correctly the balance percentage was ignored so the balance couldn't be tuned and it couldn't be done with failover set up at the same time. I never tried it.
Ugh. Yeah what I really need is access to standard cgminer interface, but I have no idea how to do it with the sp20. I need to connect to windows because I want to set up a full node and point my miner there as well. Sorry I'm way off topic. If anyone wants to help me out please pm.
--load-balance will mine on all pools listed at the same time.
i.e. as per the cgminer README
MULTIPOOL
FAILOVER STRATEGIES WITH MULTIPOOL:
A number of different strategies for dealing with multipool setups are
available. Each has their advantages and disadvantages so multiple strategies
are available by user choice, as per the following list:
FAILOVER:
The default strategy is failover. This means that if you input a number of
pools, it will try to use them as a priority list, moving away from the 1st
to the 2nd, 2nd to 3rd and so on. If any of the earlier pools recover, it will
move back to the higher priority ones.
ROUND ROBIN:
This strategy only moves from one pool to the next when the current one falls
idle and makes no attempt to move otherwise.
ROTATE:
This strategy moves at user-defined intervals from one active pool to the next,
skipping pools that are idle.
LOAD BALANCE:
This strategy sends work to all the pools on a quota basis. By default, all
pools are allocated equal quotas unless specified with --quota. This
apportioning of work is based on work handed out, not shares returned so is
independent of difficulty targets or rejected shares. While a pool is disabled
or dead, its quota is dropped until it is re-enabled. Quotas are forward
looking, so if the quota is changed on the fly, it only affects future work.
If all pools are set to zero quota or all pools with quota are dead, it will
fall back to a failover mode. See quota below for more information.
The failover-only flag has special meaning in combination with load-balance
mode and it will distribute quota back to priority pool 0 from any pools that
are unable to provide work for any reason so as to maintain quota ratios
between the rest of the pools.
BALANCE:
This strategy monitors the amount of difficulty 1 shares solved for each pool
and uses it to try to end up doing the same amount of work for all pools.
I'm running an sp20 as well. OT question to anyone willing to answer(delete if you must I understand) Can I split my sp20 between Kano Ckpool and SoloCKpool simultaneously somehow?
