Your host should be
HOST = "0.0.0.0" (if miners and proxy are on the same network)
and delete the farm recheck stuff
ethminer -G -F
http://Your.Local.IP.AddressOfProxy:8080/RigNameif ethminer is on the same computer as the proxy then use 127.0.0.1
Your main pool is the same as your backup pool too. Give ocminer some love
Thanks both Ocminer and melloyellow for your responses. I will try using this info and switch pools this weekend when I get back to my rigs. I will show some more love then too!
One other question related to a previous post about multiple gpus. Will running ethminer once start all the gpus on a machine? Or do I need to run a terminal of ethminer for every card that I have? Also do I need to be running either eth or geth as well? Or does that not matter if I am using a proxy? Finally, does anyone have experience using AMD and Nvidia cards on the same machine? I have the Opencl drivers for AMD installed and I added a Nvidia card but it (obviously) isn't detected in opencl. Thanks.
For OpenCl, ethminer will run all GPU's it finds unless you limit the number with the "-t n" command where n is the number of GPU's you want to run. You CANNOT however select which GPU's. In order to troubleshoot a bad GPU I had to physically remove each PCI extension cable...bummer. Wish it had the "device command" like sgminer.
You do not have to run a terminal of ethminer for every card. You only need to run geth on the machine to serve as a node for your wallet.
I have not tried it, but I do believe you can run separate instances of OpenCL and Nvidia as long as they have distinct DAG files, obviously in different terminals.
