Adding Two Mining Addresses or Pools

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

It depends on your mining setup and goals. Here are some scenarios where adding two mining addresses (or pools) can be beneficial:

Reasons to Add Two Mining Addresses:

  1. Failover (Backup Pool): If your primary mining pool goes down, your miner will automatically switch to the second one, preventing downtime.
  2. Load Balancing: Some miners configure two pools to distribute work, ensuring steady mining performance.
  3. Higher Uptime & Stability: If one address has connectivity issues, the second keeps your miner running.
  4. Testing Different Pools: You can compare performance between pools to see which offers better rewards.

When to Stick to One Address:

  • If the mining pool has a high uptime (99%+), and you trust it.
  • If the pool fees are low, and adding another won’t necessarily improve your earnings.

How to Set It Up:

  • Most ASIC miners allow you to add a primary pool and a backup pool in the settings.
  • Ensure you use different addresses for different pools (or the same pool with different servers).
