3. Also another thought about multimining is, what if you could setup a cron job on the Orange Pi Zero to switch pools every few hours. I know there are auto-switching pools, but it would be nice to say, mine DGB / Qubit on one pool, then four hours later, switch to Verge / Myriad-Groestl on another pool. I think this could be done simply by making a cron job to update the miner.conf and miner.pools.json. I don't know. Then again, maybe it's just easier to use some autoswitching pool or software for this.
I found a sgminer option for rotate. Under Miner > SGMINER Options you click Add Options. Then, in the first box you put 'rotate' and in the second box you put how many seconds you want it to rotate. It's kind of hard to tell if it's actually working because in the dashboard, it doesn't show the pool switching. I'm going to set it to rotate every four hours, and see if it's actually working. Anyone know how to view the sgminer output in the terminal or a way to check from within the terminal?
I don't think the rotate option works. Someone in another thread said the miner has to be restarted to change pools/algorithms.
