You are still not defining what you perceive as a problem. I have users mining with 50TH off one instance of cgminer
Try testing with a generation transaction of 100+ kB size.
Edit: Also, I would expect it to not affect high-end hosts. Probably just embedded and crappy miner-only hosts.
The host WAS mining on this pool with the 50TH without a problem
As for "crappy" miner only hosts, cointerra devices use "crappy" beaglebone boards and mine on this pool with 1.6TH per instance at 3% CPU usage.
So how big is the current generation transaction?
*sigh*
Depending on what I'm mining and the mood I'm in and what machine I'm using, I have used cgminer, sgminer (a derivative work) and bfgminer. All of them, let me repeat that in large letters, ALL OF THEM work well.
cgminer is the best known and most widely used. I don't really see why bfgminer doesn't have wider adoption, as it's damn good too.
You two have a long running problem with each other. I don't know, or care, what it is.
But I have a proposal. I raise the funds to get you both in a boxing ring. No holds barred fight, pay-per-view. Tickets start at .1 BTC. I take 10 percent of the profit for getting it organized. You two split the rest. You'll make money, no matter what, and have the pleasure of beating the shit out of each other.
What do you say?
Happy to participate in a boxing match.
Just to be clear what the real issue is here though, as this is not a pissing match:
Luke-jr is saying the reason this pool uses a cold wallet is to store transactions they can't "fit" into the coinbase, and he is saying they do this to work around some limitation in cgminer, thereby delaying maybe a million dollars worth of rewards. All I am doing is asking what that limitation is so I can try and help. However so far it's only been some vague accusation which is as good as trolling.
Understood. My first post was tongue in cheek, and I'm not technical enough to address the actual issue. However, the part about the two of you having a problem with each other is evident every time you interact, and it serves neither of you. From my POV, you and he have both been easy to deal with, except when you deal with each other. I primarily use cgminer, because I like it and because it's the embedded program in my device
. But when mining scrypt coins with ancient APU's, I've used bfgminer and sgminer with better results. Probably because you've concentrated more on the bleeding edge of late. No worries there, it needs doing.
If there is indeed the problem he alludes to, it's serious in that in time the network is supposed to function on tx fees alone. Given that, I think you've got a few minutes before the end of the mining cycle
Though in retrospect, I still think a PPV brawl would be fun to produce
