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...

I have I20 and thread concurrency over 20 000 with -g 1, maybe that's the reason my R9 290 and 7950 are giving me 50% payout compared to other users on middlecoin?
when on litecoin pool seems like I got better results.
I have 0 HW and low % stale in cgminer.
