Was just thinking that it would be cool to have not only a "PROP" setting but also a "SLOWPROP" setting. This would be kind of a hack so that you could mine on the slow prop pools after finishing a fast round with a pool with a much faster rate instead of getting stuck at a slow pool all day. This would work until the miner takes hashrates into account on choosing which pool to hop to.
The idea would be so that the picker chooses PROP>SLOWPROP>SCORE/SMPPS>BACKUP. Actually ideally the SCORE implementation would be like bithoppers so that you jump on for 10% and then get off, so that the picker would choose: SCORE>PROP>SLOWPROP>BACKUP.
I could make it take hash rate into account, but what method are you suggesting? Going to the fastest (prop) pool under 43%, then switching to the 2nd fastest when the 1st goes over 43%?
anyone running this on ubuntu successfully?
When I've tested a very, very early version on Ubuntu everything worked besides the actual starting of the processes. It would indeed start poclbm, but the miners were always idle and not outputting any error messages. It theoretically could have been some invalid argument in a .cfg (I have some but not too much Linux experience) but I can't say.
