Greetings!
I've got a newbie question I'm hoping someone can help me with. Specifically, I'm wondering about failover. That is, what's the syntax for my bitcoin-miner.exe command line string to so that if I loose connection to one pool it fails over to an alternate? I've seen mentions of it and I've looked at the link in the OP, but I'm unclear as to how that string should look. For instance, mining on a 12-core server with onboard GPU, if I want to start with Deepbit as my primary and use Slush as my alternate, what does that look like? Mining only to deepbit the string is
bitcoin-miner.exe -a 5 -g no -o
http://deepbit.net:8332 -u username -p password
To add Slush as a alternate pool the string becomes ...?
Thanks in advance for the help!
Sorry but the tools you use have no such features. You could go with "-a 3 -f 15" and run two miners at the same time. They will fight over for the resources while they both have work to do, but if one fails, the other will use up the full power. Now if you have multiple cores, use the -t option too.
