But again, it will be only temporary so there is at least one pool running at all.
In the long run i don't want to be bothered with DOS attacks or manage firewall settings all day long.
I think there should be multiple pools running and then the miner could be auto-switching in case one goes down.
And yeah solo mining of course.
Please be sure your solo miner will work with Catalyst 13.12 as its the only driver that work on my 6 x GPU rig (only driver that recognize the 6 x GPUs on same board)
PS: 13.12 worked 100% fine with your pool miner at 4.30 CPD per GPU (R9 280x core 1150 / mem 1500)
