--bfl-range Use nonce range on bitforce devices if supported
|
||||
|
||||
This option is only for bitforce devices. Earlier devices such as the single
|
||||
did not have any way of doing small amounts of work which meant that a lot of
|
||||
work could be lost across block changes. Some of the "minirigs" have support
|
||||
for doing this, so less work is lost across a longpoll. However, it comes at
|
||||
a cost of 1% in overall hashrate so this feature is disabled by default. It
|
||||
is only recommended you enable this if you are mining with a minirig on
|
||||
p2pool.

Q: How do I tune for p2pool?
|
||||
A: p2pool has very rapid expiration of work and new blocks, it is suggested you
|

decrease intensity by 1 from your optimal value, and decrease GPU threads to 1

with -g 1.
|

with -g 1. It is also recommended to use --failover-only since the work is

effectively like a different block chain. If mining with a minirig, it is worth

adding the --bfl-range option.

Q: How do I get my BFL device to auto-recognise?
|

A: They are only automatically recognised on linux, and no option needs to be

passed to them. The only thing that needs to be done is to load the driver for

them, which on linux would require:
