(Thats what I found around the net. Are there any others?)
Should we change (some of) them from defaults in current diff-10 situation? Could something be gained here? Whats your suggestion about values here?
I tried to find something in this thread, but nothing with enough explanatory power for my mind showed up

@padre999+ninjafocus100:
there’s nothing i can change on the pool side to decrease your chains/day perfomance, it must be (a) difficulty or (b) on your side / your VPS provider. afaik
chains/day depends on the difficulty (–> a?)
while primes/sec doesn’t (–> b?)
@donshoe+everyone else:
yeah, maybe you’re right.
what about 2 XPM barrier?
Just chiming in to say that I’ve seen a huge drop overnight too. Primes/s went from around 900/s per core (total 2400/s on 3 cores) with 1.4ch/d to about 500/s per core (1500/s total) with 0.05ch/d.
A friend of mine is reporting the same effect.

-sievesize=
-sieveextensions=
-sievepercentage=
are working
you could try
sieveextensions=10 (default: 9)
but i dont have reliable test results on that

I tried those flags a while back, didn’t seem to do anything but they do work now.
Do you have a quick primer on what they do? Just for trial and error, I tried increasing sievesize to 2000000 which caused a drop in primes/s, but changing sieveextensions to 10 hasn’t had a noticeable effect.

That’s a pity you can’t speed up our miners
Anyway, primes/s is definitely affected as well. They dropped about 40-50 % on all of my four miners which are all running on different machines. All Linux. And I am not the only one as it seems.

So I would opt for a) difficulty.[/quote]
guys, “chains per day”: the number of expected target chains found per day. at diff 9.x it’s displaying 9-ch/day. at diff 10.x per day. So if your ch/d dropps from 2.7 to 0.1 its because you will only find 1 10-ch in 10 days…
I am wondering if this difficulty over 10 is going to foul up your pool payouts? Are you going to have to readjust the values of each type of chain found?
@ninjafocus100:
i’m sorry - i was wrong, the stats and calculations depend on the difficulty as the SieveOfEratosthenes part of the code is adjusted to the new diff automatically
this means primes/s & X-ch/day will decrease unfortunately as the SoE part gets harder and takes longer
@urubu:
yeah i’ll have to re-adjust the values, currently the # of 7-, 8-, 9-chains decreased with the new diffculty, thus the reward for them will increase a little i’ll have to find a good balance for the rewards per share (again)
at the moment the pool uses the additional coins that get confirmed from the last days to work off the sharelog
[quote=“NeilChill, post:1513, topic:342”]My i5 3750k rig went from 1.9 chains/d to 0.075
Same thing has happened on my other rig.
It’s obviously the difficulty change to 10
Earlier when I tried the website it was running very slow probably high traffic at the time as it seems ok now.[/quote]
It happened at 10:23 GMT
The difficulty jump could mean that someone got a GPU miner to work. Then CPU miners will be out of the game soon.
You could see that on the network; the block numbers should shoot up.
And yeah… Sadly that means less income for CPU miners.
I am now dedicating one miner to solo mining to see what happens.
