Just add it to your cgminer.conf, like this:
"pools" : [
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://middlecoin.com:3333",
"user" : "1E5PLsiUEzGqfLoLx5d1xpHF79jETTZcws",
"pass" : "x"
},
{
"url" : "stratum+tcp://eu.middlecoin.com:3333",
"user" : "1E5PLsiUEzGqfLoLx5d1xpHF79jETTZcws",
"pass" : "y"
}
]
You can add as many as you want.
You can also do stuff like auto-balance (mines all pools simultaneously), or failover-only, which starts at the top of your list and works its way down as servers fail. Google for cgminer.conf options and you'll get more details if you need it.
Is it possible to do this without editing the .conf file? I wouldn't want to bother doing that. Would I have to change the startup command if I did edit the .conf file?
If you are using .bat to start it this is what i use, with backup pool...
timeout /t 30
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

Wow, thanks! The pools seem to be quite unstable at the moment, since my miners are switching between eu and us servers every few minutes. The script seems to work fine though. Btw, what's the function of that "timeout /t 30" at beginning?
