has anyone evaluated running multiple instances of slush's proxy but on different ports... like the --gp 8332, --gp 8333 etc?
That's what I've been doing all along... Sorry if that was unclear. A new VM for each cube just sounds like it would eat up waaay too much RAM.
I'm after some advise on how I can get my cube to successfully mine on two separate pools, as in the primary/backup function, so if one looses connectivity or times out for any reason, it switches to the other pool.
...
Also what does diff 64, 128 and 256 mean?

Here's an example.
proxy1.bat:
Code:
mining_proxy.exe --host stratum.bitcoin.cz --port 3333 --getwork-port 8332 --stratum-port 3333
proxy2.bat: Code:
mining_proxy.exe --host stratum.btcguild.com --port 3333 --getwork-port 8331 --stratum-port 3332
Then in your cube config page, set the ports to 8332,8331The various difficulty settings are simply a way to control the bandwidth used by limiting the number of shares submitted. Lower difficulty shares means a more accurate hashrate reported by the pool, vs higher difficulty shares means less bandwidth but higher variance.
Thanks, and I like it. However, it also appears that your directing to two different pools - did you try proxy2.bat using stratum.bitcoin.cz as well, but with a --getwork-port of 8331 so that each cube would connect to a different proxy port? If I misunderstood, sorry. Right now, I'm only using slush's pool, I can use someone else too... but call me lazy, I'd like to visit as few web pages as possible
