I was able to get the discarded amount lowered as well as the load. I changed the queue to 0 from 4096 and added --scan-time 1 --expiry 1 to the cgminer file.

***IF YOU ARE NOT SURE WHAT THIS MEANS DO NOT TRY AS YOU WILL BRICK YOUR UNIT***

This is the first attempt, not sure if 0 is the optimal queue value for all pools but if you are a P2P miner you may want to try this out. I use a smaller pool and my numbers have gone up. This is along the same tune you could do for an S1 but a far cry from what we did in the GPU days. I have another unit running at a lower speed but have the same results.

SSH in then:

Code:

vim /etc/init.d/cgminer
--scan-time 1 --expiry 1

Find line 75 PARAMS...at the end change --queue 0 and add --scan-time 1 --expiry 1 before the quotation.

***DO NOT TRY THIS UNLESS YOU FULLY UNDERSTAND AS YOU WILL BRICK YOUR UNIT****

Hey Duce,

I'm browsing these threads while I wait on my 2 S3's (currently in Louisville.).
I've had an S1 for a couple months - works well but I notice it's discarded is pretty high. (currenlty 21000 discarded and 31000 accepted.)
WIll your mod work for the S1 as well? Couldn't find anything on the net about high discards on the S1.
In other words, adding --queue 0 and add --scan-time 1 --expiry 1 be okay for S1?

Thanks!
