Hey Terk - can you confirm if your custom stratum software follows the standards (meaning scan-time, expiry and queue settings local to our miners are meaningless), or if we specify settings that they are in fact not ignored?
Those settings are client side only.
In theory Stratum server implementation should send those settings to clients as well as send work restart command as soon as a block change.
Kalroth indicated earlier the opposite, that in cgminer.c.source file it indicated that changing queue, expiry and scan-time on the client will not have an impact on results.
We've had quite a few people indicate opposing arguments here - and even one who suggested even though Kalroth was right, Terk was using custom stratum software such that these settings were impactful. I'd like Terk to clarify if this is true because I didn't see any evidence other than what Kalroth posted that made me confident in one side of the argument or the other.
