Titan owners - I have a small request for you. I hear that Titans are having issues with some firmwares, therefore I would just like to ask some of you if you could point one of your Titans to our stratum (stratum.nicehash.com or stratum.westhash.com - https://www.nicehash.com/?p=gstarted#seller) for like 10 or 15 minutes and see if your Titan can actually reach full speed (as reported on Titan and as reported on our website)? We are using some stratum extensions I would like to see if KnC integrated them into their firmware ... thanks!

FYI: since the new firmware uses BFGMiner 4.8.0 you can try setting extranonce.subscribe extension/feature to get better efficiency on NiceHash/WestHash (put "#xnsub" at the end of the pool URI to enable extranonce extension: "stratum+tcp://stratum.nicehash.com/#xnsub") ... nevertheless it might be a hard time for Titans to handle the work provide by our stratums since most of the time work is provided by orders for altcoins mining ... but it might be worth giving a try ... (also try  "--queue 0 --scan-time 1 --expiry 1" options).

Thx, I'll try that.
Any recommendation for 'Longpoll' and 'Retries' ?

'Longpoll' and 'Retries' are only relevant if you are connecting via getwork protocol (not stratum, for example, if you are connecting via proxy through getwork to the stratum endpoint), in this case these values should be as low as possible.
