Load balancing is available in CGMiner. I'm not sure about how easy it is
It's very easy. It's as simple as adjusting your config file to add multiple pools, and then it automatically balances them. Or just listing multiple pools in your command line, if you do it that way.
Here's an example config thread. I've been doing it this way for many many months now.
"pools" : [
{
"name" : "pool1",
"url" : "stratum+tcp://pool1.url:3333",
"user" : "pool1user",
"pass" : "pool1pass",
"pool-priority" : "0"
},
{
"name" : "pool2",
"url" : "stratum+tcp://pool2.url:3333",
"user" : "pool2user",
"pass" : "pool2pass",
"pool-priority" : "1"
},
{
"name" : "pool3",
"url" : "stratum+tcp://pool3.url:3333",
"user" : "pool3user",
"pass" : "pool3pass",
"pool-priority" : "2"
}
],
EDIT: Dur, of course you have to add ""balance" : true," into your config file as well. Otherwise the additional pools just act as backups.
How about this thread in case of balance pools (like you post with 3 pools 33% balance share) and backup? For example, correct me if i am wrong: In your thread all 3 pools shall work in balance with 33.33% each. What will happen, if 1 pool is not reachable? Will the other 2 pools automatic share 50% 50%, because Pool 1 0% - Pool 2 50% - Pool 3 50%?
If so, that would be great!
But right now the thread look like, the pools are setup like backup pools?
"pool-priority" : "0", "pool-priority" : "1", "pool-priority" : "2"
Is that correct?
