Feature Request: Failover by Port #2

Closed codesport closed 7 years ago

codesport commented 7 years ago

I noticed that Eminer was attempting to connect to us1.ethermine.org for at least 30 minutes without success.

Would you add the ability to either manually specify or auto-detect available fail-overs and then switch-over if connection fails to main pooling server or port?

For example, for the East Coast (USA) Ethermine pool they offer 2 port options:

Main Port: us1.ethermine.org:4444 Secondary Port: us1.ethermine.org:14444

It would be great if your E-miner can switch to the secondary port after multiple failures or not being able to connect to main port within 10 seconds or so.

Thanks

You can use multi stratum servers for failover like this;

"-S us1.ethermine.org:4444,us1.ethermine.org:14444" , miner will be try another server while connection problems.
