Do any of you here know why the queue on the config is set so high? Is there a big gain from setting it to a lower number or why did they program 4096 as the queue. The discarded amounts are so high...
If you want, you can change the queue in /etc/init.d/cgminer
I use 32 and it seems to be a good compromise. Some people use 1, others have kept 4096 - doesn't seem to have a huge effect, but can save you some CPU cycles if you make it lower.
Okay thanks, I will search. Does the 4096 and large amount of discarded not affect the overall hashrate and work submitted? Also, is 32 equivalent to 32shares or a share in that size? I ask because I did not know if 4096 was 4096 shares or a share/shares added for a vardiff of 4096
I'm with y'all regarding Bitmain's pricing. However, as long as there are hardware geeks out there who are willing to pay at any price regardless of ROI just so they can have their shiny toys to play with, Bitmain has no incentive to modify their pricing model to benefit the consumer. We can biatch all we can in here and rationalize it in a futile attempt to sway Bitmain to our cause but unfortunately, we are a minority. Them hardware geeks are buying the S3s like hotcakes regardless. Remember, Bitmain is not in business for nothing; they are definitely not an NPO. Now, if we could only convince these hardware geeks around the world...nah, greed and bragging rights rule.
