Ok, the Failover update is online for those wishing to test it.
Reminder - you must use the built-in update system, as this update does include database patches.
To test failovers, do the following:
1) Update to the new r350
2) Restart smartcoin
3) Have at least 2 manual profiles set up. Set them up if you need to, or skip this step if you already have some defined.
4) Go to the new control tab option - 12) Set Failover Order (You will be shown the current failover order, which by default is the order in which the profiles were created. You can choose "y" to edit this order. To give it a new order, make a comma-separated list of the ID numbers listed in the current failover order)
EXAMPLE:
1) BTCGuild Me!
2) Deepbit Me!
3) SOLO MINE!!
4) BTCMine Me!
The current profile failover order is listed above.
Do you want to change the failover order, (y)es or (n)o?
y
Enter a comma-separated list of the ID numbers above to define the failover order. I.e. 1,5,2,3
In the above example, I can see the current order of failover (top to bottom). However, I want to change it so that "SOLO MINE!!!" is the last resort, so basically I will be switching "SOLO MINE!!!" and "BTCMine Me!". I will do it with the comma-separate list:
1,2,4,3
Also note that you own index numbers can be anything (there may not even be a "1" or a "2", etc.), and this is normal.
5) Goto the control tab option 5) Select Profile and choose the failover profile from the list
Note that the failover detection threshold is about 1 minute. I may make this customizable in the future, so if it seems to take a while to detect failover changes, just be patient!
