Ya I got 0.006 for 3 days, then the pool got some problems with servers and rogue coins or something few days ago and profitability decreased to 0.002 - 0.003 tops. Dunno if it's a pool problem or coins took a hit because BTC is going down a bit.

[Undland]

i got 11% rejected!

Hi merc82, can you help me understand the vardiff please?  how come sometimes i get cycles such as the below



I'm hasing with 3 Furys, 4 Mh/s total.  But the diff is so ridiculously high (16384!) that I haven't submitted a share in 5 minutes.  This happens often, and it takes quite a while for the pool to recognize that the diff is too damn high:



And eventually it goes back to a reasonable diff but it doesn't stay there... eventually it spikes again and hangs the share submissions for who knows how long. Its not just this way for my Furys on Scrypt but my rigs on X11 and X13.  Is there a way to request a steady diff by my miner's config?

Are those HW errors normal? Looks horrible.

[schnauzr]

Normal for zeus based ASICS.  I've actually seen worse.

[lsss]

I've modified the X11/X13 switching ports

The previous port will now stay alive for 60 seconds before closing, this should allow sgminer to see the new port before it closes the old port, allowing the failover to happen much quicker.

Thanks!

I don't know if this has anything to do with this or not:

Buy just today I notice ~4 min +/- 30 sec to make the switch. I'm not sure where I was before, but I never noticed anything this long. I tried --failover-only (where I didn't have it set before) and no difference.

Could it have to do with : --expiry 1 --scan-time 1 --queue 0

For now i'm off of the algo switching ports and on 4440.

For me it's switching in 30 seconds..I change it to 10 sec now

Lol, love the images folks

So I made a change to the vardiff settings, let me know if it still gets outrageous.. this was on the x11/x13 ports. Previously it was looking for a share every 15 seconds, but some of the coins we mine at low difficulty find blocks faster than this when we get on them, thus the block notification spam. I've dropped this to ~5 seconds.. hope it helps.

This is an on-going tuning battle, I apologize for not having the immediate solution, but I promise to keep making changes to better profits overall as often as possible

If you guys have a favorite ideal difficulty, I can open a set-difficulty port

[schnauzr]

Haha awesome, thanks merc.  Your diligence is much appreciated by all of us I'm sure.  Will let you know if diff keeps going nuts moving forward.

I'm on 4010 and 4011 ports but I still get 3-4 minutes between algo switch sometimes. How do I change it to 10 seconds?

nope.

rejected 3-4% and i get rejected usualy on coin change when it writes "job not found",

all seems good but when looking at cgminer windows i get "pool slowdown" "pool not responding" and "waiting for work to be available from pools" very often, tried all US and EU pools same result.

switched half of my miners to x11 will see how it goes

I'll try to figure this out later today. Port 4440 right?

Any solution here guys? I moved my mining rig between houses, thus I have new internet provider now (slower one) and it now takes more than 10 mins to switch algos sometimes.

I modified all settings to be mostly like yours and miner is not getting any work from pool. I'll just modify the failover-switch-delay to 10 only.

L.E.: I got work but miner first waited 5-6 minutes and said my ports are wrong. I'll keep settings like yours and see if all goes well, if not I'll just modify the failover.

How does ur pool config look like? Which cards are u using? Drivers?
