Thanks for the response brucen. I was really hoping that I missed something obvious. Unfortunately what you describe is how I figured out that it wasn't loading the pool- settings. It seems to me that this whole multi algo thing might be a little shy of stable. Can you post a config of your that works? Happen to have any 270x miners?

Also, as an aside, I'm wondering if this multi-algo mining will open up to nvidia anytime soon. I have 10 750ti cards itching for a go. For now they mine scrypt with a custom build of sgminer that has the cuda kernel from cudaminer. It's a fork of sgminer called darkminer. Terrible name choice but it lets me use all my cgminer monitors to watch and control them. Anyway, I'm hoping nicehash might put together a build of sgminer with the cuda kernel and multi-algo...
