@brincobt
1) probably you missed the point of the question... and no ,i will not answer that Wink
2) figured already that ,
3) gaining wasnt the point.

@crazyates  that is an excellent suggestion. a bit messy but does the work . thanks Smiley

Yes, GGMiner has many options for changing your pool management. You simply add multiple pools into your command line or config file, and then choose which option you like best:

an example. i want to always hash with 1ghash on deepbit (god forbit!) , 3 ghash on slush , 5ghash on another pool.
in case of the "other pool" goes off , the 5ghash to be distributed among the 2 previous pools. the detail on that is the hash limit. i havent seen that anywhere (or i've missed it)
IIRC, the only way to do this is to add 1 worker for Deepbit, 3 workers for slush, and 5 for any other pool, and then do a --balance scheme. Each worker will get 1/9 of your shares, or close to it. If slush goes down, then those 3/9 workers would go down, and your hashrate would be split over 6 workers now, not 9. The remaining 6 workers would then be hashing at a faster rate. I don't know of any way how to limit a pools hashrate any other way, but I also don't know why you'd want to.

First: Do you have ready an ASICs miner, what type and from or are you dreaming?
Second: Write the  necessary software your own, preferably in python and open source.
Third: The automatic mining pool hopper for optimized gain has to be invented, if/when hopping gives you a gain ;-)

To whoever know:Is it possible to use a miner (bfgminer,cgminer,.....) with any of the asic products that can
a) mine on multiple pools 
b) "cap" the hashing power to a limit
c) load balance if a pool is off or unrechable

an example. i want to always hash with 1ghash on deepbit (god forbit!) , 3 ghash on slush , 5ghash on another pool.
in case of the "other pool" goes off , the 5ghash to be distributed among the 2 previous pools. the detail on that is the hash limit. i havent seen that anywhere (or i've missed it)
