Can we only mine with pools with an antminer? Out of curiosity I was wondering how to solo mine. Also, how to load balance. I checked it out but there is no pop up for the load values. I figure this means we have to edit cgminer on the Asic manually?

You can solo mine on anything, but... just don't. Load balancing is on the mining config page, balance or load balance.
Yeah im just curious on how to do it. Say the pools go down (NYC legislation and BTC for example) or security is comprimised. I make auto withdrawls frequently but it is good to know. Also from a knowledge perspective.

I toggled load balance a few days ago in config. I was wondering how to set the load. No options popped up. When i did straight balance my gh/s dropped to about 2/3 total value in both pools registered gh/s even though the miners were going at 450+ each.

Because its load balance, you need 3 pools.

So you can't set load balance to say, 80%, 15%, 5%? I should have been more clear.

Yeah you can, was discussed on the previous page.
