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

Look at cklolivas(cgminer dev) post in this thread. Goes into great detail about this.

I will try. The results from search is a bit overwhelming in such a large thread. I was hoping for a single quick fix answer but I will try to read through the results

Hi BITMAIN.

As you're an official representative of bitmain, may I ask you to please provide the source code for your modifications to cgminer in the form of the driver for the S3. cgminer is provided under the GPL version 3 license which means you are obliged by law to provide the source code to any modifications you do if you distribute binaries and you are distributing modified cgminer binaries with every S3.

Provision of the source code would allow us to aid the development of your driver and help bring your version to sync up with the latest cgminer to derive the benefits of newer versions along with its many fixes.

I will bump your request.

Anyone want to post on here their Antminer s3 setup? I want to replicate some sort of rack.
Thanks.

Here is my rack you can duplicate.

Thank you for this post. I hope Bitmain will capitulate as expected. It is morally the right thing to do on their part.

It's more than morally right; it's legally required.

Although it isn't clear what recourse this community (or anyone) would have against a Chinese company that doesn't comply with the GPL. Hopefully it won't come to that...

The legal part is a given; I already got that. I was just trying to appeal to Bitmain's morality. I hope they still have an ounce left and not completely overwhelmed by capitalism, i.e. profit and greed.
