For stratum mining proxy frequented by my little fpga (1.7 GH/s).. how can I setup a backup mining pool?
I don't know if this is the right way, but I solved it by running two instances, each on the different listen port. Each instance was pointing to a specific pool externally (Primary & Secondary). In my mining rigs where you would list your pools, I added each of the internal IP (The device running the Stratum Proxy) with different ports. Just start each Stratum instance from a different shell script or batch file. Example: 192.168.55.101:3331 points to pool 1 and 192.168.55.101:3332 points to pool 2.
