I'm having a minor inconvenience with the -epoolsfile option.
I'm using claymore trough Simplemining.net which means that finer folder gets swiped when i switch miner.
This means that the epools.txt gets removed every time and my solution is to copy in a backup from another location.

I have tried to add -epoolsfile and the direct path to the backup file but it does not seem to be able to read that file for some reason.
-epoolsfile /home/miner/epools.txt                                                                           

gives this when I press "r"
Code:
Reloading /home/miner/epools.txt                                                                           
ETH: 1 pool is specified
This refers to the pool entered on the command line.

if I copy this epools.txt to /root/miner/claymore-eth-v11.8/epools.txt and remove the -epools on the command line it gives the following in the log:
Code:
Reloading epools.txt                         
ETH: 4 pools are specified
Which means it reads the file with three pools + the one on the command line

So am I entering the path to the alternative epoolsfile wrongly in some sense or is Claymore unable to use absolute paths (so ../../../home/miner/epools.txt would work better)?
Nah it gives
Code:
Reloading ../../../home/miner/epools.txt
ETH: 1 pool is specified
