Is there a way to force cgminer not to use var diff?
I prefer to mine at diff 1 as long as it possible....
You can use the --fix-protocol option to force getwork. It may be some more days before I turn on var diff for getwork. But in general, the diff is set by the server and the miner can't override it.
I have found that during the recent pool outages that cgminer is not switching to backup pools. Bitminter is marked dead, then alive, but no work issued.
Any ideas before I raise this in the cgminer thread?
I guess this is because the pool wasn't down but horribly slow. Too slow should probably be considered down, for some definition of "too slow."
I bet that will be a lot easier to fix after about another week passes. After all the 50 BTC per block rewards have scrolled off.
Then just set it to 25 BTC.
A lot of hassle not worth the effort, IMO, to have it deal with the 'switchover' event mid graph.
For the reward graph, I would like to add some buttons in the future to move forward and back in time, though. So I would like to have the 25/50 BTC change work in the graph. I tried to fix it but it's not quite working. A bit out of it with the flu at the moment, so not at regular programming speed.
