Hey guys and girls,
Trying to do a little solo mining on the side. I have it set up and is running but it is either a) not working correctly or b) I dont fully understand load balance.
I am trying to get it where it does 90% of the work for the pool and 10% for solo mining. However I only get about 1/3 or the hash rate on the pool as I used to and not the 90% I would like. Here is the code, without the load balance command because not sure where to put it so I do that manually:
{
"pools" : [
{
"quota" : "10;192.168.2.9:8332",
"user" : "blah",
"pass" : "blah",
"coinbase-addr" : "1DhHifvuR232342142424SsKJoQUqeC7Z5dc",
"coinbase-sig" : "Fuglie's solo lotto 10%"
},
{
"quota" : "90;stratum.bitcoin.cz:3333",
"user" : "blah",
"pass" : "blah"
}
]
,
"scan" : "all"
}
Is it not working correctly or is load balance not working how I think it should (sharing the max available hash rate between the pool/solo)?
Thanks!

Yes selecting 'load balance' should balance out your hashing power appropriately.
It should work but if not replace the solo quota to '1' and your other main pool to '9' and see if that helps. Or just replace the 'quota' part of your solo pool with "url" as it would normally be. Actually in hindsight that may be how to fix it since I use a 1:4 ratio with my BFGMiner config and it also has the pool with the '1' quota as just "url". Also are you using the latest BFGMiner build (3.10.0)?
