Dear dev, I really look forward to the function of the failover pool in pools.txt file..

Hi, unfortunately this is not possible(or not safe) for BBR/PURK coins because of their scratchpad file. Different pools have different scratchpad height, so I disabled this feature for this version of miner.

Well, you can use failover pools even if wildrig miner doesnt support it.

Actually, it is possible to use failover pools. Just write a failover script in the BAT file. But it s not recommended. Each scratchpad file is around 300 MB. Each pool has their own scratchpad file. You will get a lot of rejected shares if you switch the pool. Because your scratchpad file from a different pool. Wildrig miner will redownload the sratchpad file after around 5-10 minutes. Of course, you will lose some coins. By the way, Your bandwitdh will be used up and the internet connection will be slower if you have many rigs. This the the bad thing because of the result of redownload issue. I found a solution to manage the sratchpad file. Give different names to the sratchpad files.

Grin

scrathpadfile_minerrocks
scrathpadfile_luckypoolio

At this time, you can use two different pools to mine the same coin. But the scratchpad file will be redownloaded if it is older than the expected. Your bandwitdh will be used up and the internet connection will be slower if you have many rigs. This the the bad thing because of the result of redownload issue.

Alternativly, you can mine different wildkeccak coin if your main pool fails. Be careful about the scratchpad file names and name them in different names.
