Hello,

First, let me thank you about your dedicated time in BFGminer project.

I was wondering if it was possible to run multiple instance of BFGMiner on a single machine to mine different coin with different pool, both having their proper fail over pool.
(In other words, on the same machine, BFGMiner Instance 1 mine X coin on Y pool having Z fail over pool, BFGMiner Instance 2 min A coin on B pool having C fail over pool)
I'm calling BFGMiner from a batch file (if that can help) so I can configure switchs as needed.


FYI: I'm using the NanoFury USB chip only (for the fun of it)

1- I've tried the -d and / or --device switch to turn off some of the devices on instance 1 of BFGMiner and enable them on a second instance
Result -> First instance still showed all the USB device even those NFY that were turned OFF. Second instance -> ran but detect no device

2- I've also tried the -S switch to scan device and try to "separate" them from the command line, wasn't successful.
3- I thought using the --set switch to set default parameters on the wanted NFY on each instance but didn't succeeded.
4- I've also tried to "release" a NFY chip when BFGMiner was running but it only turned it OFF

Is it possible to run BFGMiner like I was trying to do, is it a configuration issue or that particular scenario isn't supported?
Thank you
