Re: [GLBSE] NASTY - Free Electricity, GPUMAX.com, Free ASIC Upgrade!
As backup-pool I would like to recommend eclipsemc. They seem to have nearly equal conditions as ozcoin.
I will look into eclipsemc. It is run by one of our GLBSE competitors, but I'm open to having a backup, or even a few backup pools. You can never have too many backups.+1 for Oz and Eclipse.
MaxBTC also offers DGM and NMC merged mining with 2-factor auth; adding 0.75% 'donation' enables automatic payout. I make use of GPUMAX with a private setting for each of those three pools and set as failovers for cgminer, including a local bitcoind - just in case
Example cgminer pool config:
Code:
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "http://gpumax.com",
"user" : "u",
"pass" : "p"
},
{
"url" : "http://pool.maxbtc.com",
"user" : "u",
"pass" : "p"
},
{
"url" : "http://ozco.in",
"user" : "u",
"pass" : "p"
},
{
"url" : "http://eclipsemc.com",
"user" : "u",
"pass" : "p"
},
{
"url" : "http://localhost:8332",
"user" : "u",
"pass" : "p"
}
],
{
"url" : "http://gpumax.com",
"user" : "u",
"pass" : "p"
},
{
"url" : "http://pool.maxbtc.com",
"user" : "u",
"pass" : "p"
},
{
"url" : "http://ozco.in",
"user" : "u",
"pass" : "p"
},
{
"url" : "http://eclipsemc.com",
"user" : "u",
"pass" : "p"
},
{
"url" : "http://localhost:8332",
"user" : "u",
"pass" : "p"
}
],
With that configuration, about 2% of additional share submissions are accepted by failover pools.
