Title: discarded shares
Post by: spiceminer15 on September 16, 2014, 04:42:29 PM
I know people say it doesn't matter. but it seems like it does...

I get a lot of discarded shares using westhash... my s2 has an average ghash of ~880 because of the discarded shares, when I point it at say eligius. no discarded shares and averages 1000ghash.


pretty much the same thing at westhash with s1 and s3s...

can I adjust diff to lower discarded shares, what are discarded shares? why does it lower the hash rate with lots of discarded??

IN : /etc/init.d/cgminer

You will see the following line of code

Code:
PARAMS="$AOPTIONS $POOL1 $POOL2 $POOL3 $_pb $_ow $_bec --api-listen --api-network --bitmain-checkn2diff --bitmain-hwerror --queue 4096"

Change it to this line of code

Code:
PARAMS="$AOPTIONS $POOL1 $POOL2 $POOL3 $_pb $_ow $_bec --api-listen --api-network --bitmain-checkn2diff --bitmain-hwerror --queue 0 --scan-time 1 --expiry 1"


Worked for me..

I upgraded the firmware on my s2, now the password has changed, and its not root. what the fuck

factory reset, still doesn't accept password. no way to change it on the web UI. its accepted root/root to login to the web ui. but "change password" doesn't accept "root" as the password, and SSH doesn't either.

this firmware is fucked going to revert back
