Asking again because the first time got buried in all the difficulty... difficulties...
What solution is there for a backup/failover pool for a multi-coin pool such as this? Cgminer explicitly states that mixing blockchains is a no-no, so setting a LTC pool (or similar) as backup won't work.
Anyone?
Although the CGMiner readme does say not to work on multiple blockchains, I have had no issues using an LTC pool as a backup for this pool. Actually for the past week or so I have been using the "balance" option to split my hashrate between this pool and my preferred LTC pool. Reject rate for the LTC pool is ~0.5% and of course reject rate for middlecoin pool varies, but CGWatcher reports a total reject rate of 1.64% for the past 36 hours. YMMV, but it seems to be working just fine this way for me.
