You are clearly on a good track zHO. Pools are exceptionally good at determining what share difficulty you should be receiving. Some pools take longer than others to figure this out. I like to be able to make that decision myself.
My problem was that without suggested difficulty, I would be sent 1K shares for 20-40 minutes until the pool recognized how small I am. (bad things can happen in 20- 40 minutes of not returning a share, zadig, usb, libusb and even more unfamiliar stuff).
Now I can ask it to start at an appropriate difficulty, and I will be returning shares in just moments.

Thanks for the info I've just added it to my cgminer .bat file command line. You're right mine used to start with 1k diff and took a while to come down, it now starts at 30 which was about where it settled at before
.Good stuff !
That's very clear now, thank you.
I don't think you want to mix the power from two different sources (hub's) into 1 stick (or anything really). Remember reading something about that, but can't think of the reason why it's bad.
Probably why it's a NO NO, to use 2 different PSU on 1 board on S3's and the like.
I don't think I would have done it anyway, it wouldn't have looked good :p
Not only that it would have been quite tricky to support the sticks for fan cooling. A hub does that job perfectly well

I ordered the same from the same vendor.
and in the meantime, I also ordered that:

So I guess I won't need the Y cable :p
(and if I do I can use this switch to plug 1 end of the cable...:

Understood.
I get the freq setting, of course, but it seems to me your post was more about the suggested difficulty and the syntax.
I acknowledge the nicety of the syntax.
I've searched for an explicit description of the --suggest-dif command but I couldn't find one.
It seems it tries to override the pool difficulty by suggesting it's own value.
But I fail to grasp why it would even be possible.
Probably off topic though

Hi zOU,
The frequency setting is totally irrelevant to my discussion and is only to show what a single line entry might look like, thus exposing the syntax. (apparently you can break it into two lines if you wish) Frequency can be easily set in minera-cgminer because they give you a place to plug in your desired number.
My point is that if you cannot see that the syntax of what you are entering is 'bad', what you are attempting will never work and you probably won't know why.

This is an entry I concocted and made in minera; it works.
--compac-freq 225 --suggest-diff 30
I'll bet you spotted the double dashes on the working entry.
Did you also notice the double spaces before the double dashes?
I didn't notice either of them until today.
Thank you.
What is in layman's terms the effect of this setting ?
For those running minera-cgminer, I asked in prior locked threads why I couldn't manage to set my 'suggested share difficulty'.
I received a few responses, not one of which worked.
Striking out on my own, I'll show how in a minute.
Syntax is crucial. It's not just what you type in, but what the ones helping you suggest you type in.

--compac-freq 225 --suggest-diff 30
This is the best instruction I received in order to solve my problem. It did not work.
Use :
--compac-freq 225 -suggest-diff 30.
I'll bet you spotted the double dashes on the working entry.
Did you also notice the double spaces before the double dashes?
I didn't notice either of them until today and it became just trial and error that turned out favorably.

If I rented some hash should I point it to my stick address ( http://solo.ckpool.org/workers/1JiWuyX94wrCr7JhkAn7x5qNMCEef1KhqX.hedgy73stick ) or do I need a donation address setting up?
we talked about it during the last run. I mentioned it helps track sticks, but I think in this run mixing sticks and donated would be fine.
good stuff, so I may throw in my U3 and BFL as I will not take part in the overclock contest ?
Hi, i have now 3 sticks + 2 twinfury + 1 bluefurry , can i join the game ?

No problem guys .
. If either of you are in UK or even EU I can send you some of my Y cables as I wont be needing them? I have 5.
US or further probably wouldn't be worth while.

thanks but i'm in Canada
Also, Thanks, but in the U.S.
Plus, already made what I needed.
