Title: easyminer vs BFGminer hashing variation with BFL little single Post by: pandemic on October 01, 2013, 12:07:04 AM Hey everybody!
I'm running a BFL little single that runs at about 30gh/s. I'm running through Eclipse MC and am getting strange variations when I use bfgminer vs easyminer. In easyminer, I'm averaging 33gh/s on the pool side, 30.5gh/s on the miner side. In bfgminer, I'm getting about 28.5gh/s at the pool and about the same on the miner. I realize that I'm likely getting a max of 30.5gh/s but I'm wondering why there's a 2gh/s difference in bfgminer vs easyminer. Any suggestions?

As for the pool side, thats just an estimate on your hashrate depending on the amount of shares you submit during a snapshot time period (usually like 15 minutes). So if you turn out some lucky shares/solve some higher difficulty shares/the pool isnt reporting shares and needs to catch up then that can be affected (I have had my Jalapeno clock in at nearly 20GH before because the pool took a while to record all of my shares that when it did it seemed as though I was hashing at a much higher rate).

When I run the same pool on easyminer, it shows a relatively steady 30.4gh/s and the pool reflects that. When I run the same pool in bfgminer, it shows as being all over. The last time I ran it it was showing 25gh/s. The pool was showing 29.3 or something. Still, there's a large difference and I'm not sure how to optimize bfgminer.

Dude, totally unrelated but: I LOVE your profile pick. Akuma is awesome. Done...

Title: Re: easyminer vs BFGminer hashing variation with BFL little single Post by: lightfoot on February 17, 2014, 04:44:18 PM Yes. But I don't know why. Cooling the unit can sometimes cause more engines to come online, likewise power cycling a hot unit can cause chips to come up again at slightly lower speeds.
Ergo, 15 mins in the freezer if things are odd. This fixes a lot of types of hw stuff. |
