Bit of funny behaviour that I noticed recently. I noticed that MinePeon was reporting ~20% hardware errors, after briefly freaking out I figured out that it's based on (hardware errors / accepted shares), since all my miners are setup to submit on relatively high difficulties (64 on bitminter, 256 on p2pool backups. Higher variance, lower overhead) an accepted share is much less common than my diff1 shares and it tends to inflate the relative frequency of hardware errors by a factor of the difficulty I'm running at, any way to deal with this or is it coming from cgminer itself?

Depends on what version you are using.

Up until 0.2.4 I was calculating the percentages myself and I never seemed to be able to get it right. 0.2.4 onwards the miner API started to actually give percentages so MinePeon now uses them.

Ahh, I'm on 0.2.3 and I think I understand where the number is coming from I just thought it wasn't the best way to do it. I'll update and see if I still have any issues. What's the currently recommended upgrade process right now? Copy everything from the Advanced>Backup and then reupload it after adding the new image to the SD card?
