Hi. I am new in mining , and just started with ASIC using CGMINER. I created "start.bat" on DESKTOP with 1 URL for solo mining and load , it is working good.Then i add to 3 or more URL for multipool mining .That is work good too.Only there is problem : each time after restarting OS (WINDOWS7) there is no saving in CGMINER about multipool mining , and needed to write URL again??? Ths.
You can add the pools and logins to your .bat file.
See the Executive summary in the readme or the top post.
Similiar issue here,
1. Start your mining program with the pools you want
2. While cgminer is running press Press SHIFT key and the letter "S" for settings
3. Choose the option to write your config file, use the default name cgminer.conf
4. Go find that file in the same directory your software is in
5. Copy that file to a new name lets call it, test.conf
6. Open the config file with and editor such as notepad
7. The options are pretty self explanatory and enter the pools you use. The first being your primary and rest are your failovers
8. Save the file
9. To make sure your cgminer finds the config file I have a CD (change directory) command in my bat file to make sure I redirect there before cgminer starts it looks like this, yours will be different. Format the cgminer command with the option below to find your test.conf file as well
cd C:\@Cryptocurrency\Software\cgminer 3.7.2\cgminer-3.7.2-windows
cgminer --scrypt
--default-config test.conf -o etc. etc. etc. etc. etc.
Mine looks like this
cgminer --scrypt --default-config cgminer_hashtocoins.conf -o stratum+tcp://hash-to-coins.com:3333 -u user.worker -p password --no-submit-stale --auto-fan --auto-gpu
10. Your CGminer will now begin to use the test.conf file.
11. If you want to test it, change the intensity parameter to some number like 4 or 20, save it run it and you will see when cgminer starts it uses your test.conf file parameters.
This is useful if your testing or want to keep various versions of the conf file for various pooling activities. This will create a 1 to many scenario e.g. 1 miner (cgminer) to various conf files.
*warning* do not leave the config file open while running cgminer. I have seen where it may try to overwrite to it.
Hope this helps
