after playing with BFGM miner I found that you can mine on multiple pools. So you can set your miner to mine on 2 pools, so if one pools slacks on giving you work. Your mining software will point more hashing power towards the pool that is being more efficient. Its called LOAD Balancing.
Would you mind sending me a link of how to set up BFGM miner for multiple pools because i might try to continue to run slush (they have a 2% fee if i remember right) and run on the BTCguild PPLNS.
Thanks in advance. I'll do a quick google search, but if you have a link with instructions/information that worked for you, I'd prefer to read into that instead of taking a while reading through potentially outdated/irrelevant information.
Also, I would mine litecoins, but there are no asics that I know of for these.
