Update on the 0.93 cgminer restarts (Saturn):
I have the Saturn miner running with Bitminter as primary pool. Minimum difficulty had been
manually set (on the pool web interface) to 128.
With this setup, the miner and the pool often switch up to difficulty 256 and back to 128.
Today I reconfigured the Bitminter pool for a minimum difficulty of 256.
Since then, I did not see any cgminer restart. cgminer is now running for more than 8h.
In the past the max. I could observe had been 3h.
trepex thanks for sharing this info.
Did you disclose your finding with KnC, it could be a useful info for them.
did you notice any an increase in performance ?
I'm running my jups with slush pool. slush has dynamic mechanism to set diff (Vardiff) based on the hash rate of your boxes, and despite the fact they mint almost at the same rate, one is setted to 395 and the other to 453. the former has higher hw errors ratio, thou (4.1% vs 3.1%).
if KnC's new firmware will behave as the last two i'll try to switch to a pool that let me set diff manually and i'll try higher values (something like 512)
thanks again
