So I have a question that I cannot seem to find the answer.

OS in Windows 10 Pro 64 bit.

None of the readme's talk about the -S MLD: and --set MLD commands. In detail anyway. I usually like to try to figure out things on my own but not a lot of help in the readme.

1) How do I set different clock speeds per MLD? I spotted a few posts that talk about COM ports but cannot quite understand it. I realize I don't use -S MLD:all but what is the format per MLD? Maybe an example to set MLD 0 to clock 796 and MLD 1 to 600?

2) Can you set one MLD for a different coin than another?

3) If you have to mine the same coin, can you use a different pool per MLD?

Sorry for questions that may have already been answered. I tried reading through all the posts but 55 pages your eye go screwy Wink

If there is a readme on this or a post you can refer me to, that would be great too!

Not sure what readme you are refereing to, this thread -- all the 50+ pages -- IS the readme!, and answers all your questions!! And yes it is all possible, very easily.

The first thing you have to realize is that the link between physical USB port, virtual COM port, and MLD # is not fixed.
You need to open your computers device manager, plug in the first MLD into some USB port, and see which COM port pops up on the virtual com ports in the device manager (usually COM3). Make note of it. Then do the same for the 2nd MLD etc (usually COM4). This is before you have started bfgminer.
Then, you can set different clockspeeds for different com ports in one startup script, or create two scripts, one for each of the two com ports, one script with one clockspeed/one pool/one coin, and the other for the other clockspeed etc. The latter approach is needed for different pools/coins anyway, but I also prefer it for different clockspeeds as it is then easier to see which MLD in bfgminer is actually supposed to run at the desired hashrate. You just start each startup script (bat file) as normal.

Now the magic that you have been waiting for: the -S MLD command?? To skip over 53 pages of support thread should really cost you 0.1LTC straight into my wallet, but I will help you for free : -S MLD:\\.\COM3 instead of -S MLD:all for the script that is to mine the MLD that appeared in virtual com port #3 (use the actual number that showed up in device manager). The other script would thus have -S MLD:\\.\COM4 for example. The two scripts can have different clockspeed settings and different pools as per normal.

Thanks! If I had .1 LTC I would. I have not even gotten close to that yet on litecoinpool.

I did get through all 56 pages and I saw how to do it in linux. I missed the \\.\COMx for windows in all of the posts.
I did see an example of MLD@COMx but not the \\.\COMx.
So for the clock speed of 2 of these sticks on the same pool lets say stick 1 is COM2 and stick 2 is COM3.
I assume I have to do this for both the -S MLD and the --set commands?
Like this:
-S MLD:\\.\COM2 --set MLD:clock=600 -S MLD:\\.\COM3 --set MLD:clock=796

Thanks,
Bob
