Due to the way I have it set up, it goes offline for about 30 mins for each reboot :p

I would like to share my deep doubts about the sense of changing cgminer queue parameter. I know there are many guys here setting queue to 0, but documentation says there has to be 0+ (nonzero) value, so if You set 0 You set 1. Bitmain sets default 4096 for S3, 8192 for S4/5 units. Personally I do not see ANY difference in what is set there. Yes, ckolivas has written few times, that probably that number is too high, but he also says, he is not author of a driver. So we have to suppose it is better to set there 1 just because it is default setting of cgminer? Spondoolies... I do not have any idea what queue value is it using, but probably default, so probably 1. I did not study it too much, but are there the same chips? Probably not. What the queue is good for? I have tried mining solo some easy altcoin to see, if it makes difference to use value 1 or 1024. Miner is 100GHs (just two pensil moded blades from S1 connected directly thru cp2101 to the laptop with compiled cgminer 4.7.0). No difference there. From some time I doubt it makes sense to change queue parameter and I do not change it. Let me know if You have any prove of the fact it should increase efficiency and why You think it is so.

what will be the best configuration for getting more shares? Im running at 5.6 Th. but i only get 4 to 5 shares a day. my pay rate is at 0.035
the user name on the miners i have them with /2000.. Miners that i have S1,S2,S3,S4 My node is running on Win2k8
Thanks.
why /2000 ? min share diff now is roughly 7-9 million + maybe posting your config/setup might help try to optimize your pool by : having a good internet connection, make sure ports are opened, etc enough memory/cpu to run the pool ? a SSD perhaps ? +1 on the setting of queue on the ants how's the latency ? bitcoin.conf can be edited to helpout a little how abt the local DOA's & stale rate & Valid/Orphans/Dead shares doing ? Efficiency 100% & above ? also a little luck is needed too ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif) more info prolly more answers. don't mean to be an a*s but by just asking plainly for help there ain't gonna be much answers. now can we hit some blocks ![Huh](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/huh.gif) grrrrrrr Super Dry yaiks ! this is what i have in bitcoin.cof rpcuser = bitcoin rpcpassword = 1N3misrwjkelr;qlejkwr;qlkwejrq;kl server = 1 blockmaxsize = 500000 mintxfee = 0.000001 minrelaytxfee = 0.000001 maxconnections = 125 also do you mean that i should have 7000 or 9000 instead of 2000? default blockmaxsize is already 750000 try that & see or you can go max to 1000000 try raising both tx & relay fee to 0.00001 again max conn is 125 default, you can increase, leave it at default or lower it if you've got connection/bandwidth limitations (if there are limitations, i wont suggest running a pool or maybe you can upgrade it) the share diff changes all the time, either you can set min diff or slightly above, if it's above it will use the higher but not the lower you've set happy mining. tbh, if you're not sure what does those commands do, best is to leave it at defaults. ain't broken don't fix it as the old saying goes but no harm trying. Again i want to thank all of you here.. My cherry got pop. I found a block... Miner Status Summary Elapsed GH/S(5s) GH/S(avg) FoundBlocks LocalWork Utility WU BestShare 1d28m12s 1,950.82 1,973.81 1 88,010,293 26.36 27,627.24 125062429760 These are my new numbers... thanks Pool rate: 1.68PH/s (14% DOA+orphan) Share difficulty: 8060000 Node uptime: 1.9 days Peers: 6 out, 2 in Local rate: 5.19TH/s (2.6% DOA) Expected time to share: 1.9 hours Shares: 26 total (1 orphaned, 0 dead) Efficiency: 112.2% Payout if a block were found NOW: 0.05827971 BTC to xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.

question : http://p2pool-nodes.info/ ... it's special nodes of P2Pool system ? I mean, can my IP adress can be display here ? (not a problem, it's displayed too on the direct IP connexion between members of P2Pool ... when you look on the router incoming connexion).

I know there are many guys here setting queue to 0, but documentation says there has to be 0+ (nonzero) value, so if You set 0 You set 1. Bitmain sets default 4096 for S3, 8192 for S4/5 units. Personally I do not see ANY difference in what is set there. Yes, ckolivas has written few times, that probably that number is too high, but he also says, he is not author of a driver. So we have to suppose it is better to set there 1 just because it is default setting of cgminer? Spondoolies... I do not have any idea what queue value is it using, but probably default, so probably 1. I did not study it too much, but are there the same chips? Probably not.
Deep doubts? I posted the results of queue 0 v queue 1 a while ago here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=18313.msg8348972#msg8348972It is not a hard & fast rule, as everyone has a different set up & different circumstances - so it's best to try both for a while & check the results. Also, I've only ever found that changing the queue setting to 0 only benefits Bitmain hardware, probably due to the inferior firmware/hardware, as my Spondoolies gear runs fine with the default cgminer queue setting of 1. It's a case of testing, checking & testing again..... ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Yeah sure, the test was done using the August 26th firmware (antMiner_S320140826.bin) with ckolivas S3 binary that fixes the stale share submission issue that Bitmain ignored. I found this firmware to be the most stable version for my S3's, & when used with ckolivas's binary they finally performed as they should do with p2pool ![Smiley](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

Antminer S1 https://i.imgur.com/hXv9p9g.pngAntminer S3 https://i.imgur.com/k8AHDDh.pngSomeone told me it was a "luck" thing but I don't think so having same issues with it on regular pool mining also...

NVRmind I found link but how is it installed what just SSH in and exchange the cgminer in the S3 for this one?

....how is it installed what just SSH in and exchange the cgminer in the S3 for this one?
Steps for installing ck's binary on S3: SSH in then: a) cd /usr/bin b) mv cgminer cgminer.bak c) wget http://ck.kolivas.org/apps/cgminer/antminer/s3/4.6.1-141020/cgminerd) chmod +x cgminer e) /etc/init.d/cgminer restart (or simply reboot) To check cgminer version type: cgminer-api version Job done ![Wink](https://bitcointalk.org/Smileys/default/wink.gif)

Not a bother man. I'd also suggest resetting your bitcoin settings to standard - I never found messing with them helped much with p2pool, in fact it usually made matters worse. The only setting that really helps is lowering the "maxconnection" if you suffer from low bandwidth, everything else runs fine using the default settings.
