where can i find out how to use expiry queue and scan for solo mining
cheers
Greetings,
Use --help or -h after your miner . . . example: "cgminer.exe --help" or "sgminer.exe -h"
I am certainly no expert on this, so if I'm off base I'm sure the experts will chime in.
********************************************************
--expiry
Upper bound on how many seconds after getting work we consider a share from it stale
If you are getting lots of "stale shares", try lowering expiry.
********************************************************
--queue
Minimum number of work items to have queued
Use a low queue (0 or 1) for fast pools or fast solo throughput. A higher queue on fast pools will result in frequent "stale shares".
********************************************************
--scan
Upper bound on time spent scanning current work, in seconds
For solo mining I would stick with the default setting.
If you are mining a multi coin pool that switches coins frequently, a long scan time will increases your work restart time. This long scan time results in reduced hashrate and Pool block errors. If you reduce this scan time, it will reduce your work restart time thus increasing your hashrate.
