-Interval argument - Update Argument Documentation

Opened this issue · 1 comments

Several references to the -Interval argument in the argument help file (listed in yellow).

Are these deprecated? Have they been replaced and should they be removed?

They are depreciated. I think somewhere around version 2.5.0 I changed the statistics system to work only in 5 minute intervals, since SWARM started generating it's own moving averages and saving it's previous pulls because I put into question the accuracy of the pool stats (I was right at the time). It required a set timer to do so, which is 5 minutes.

I leave it in, because the arguments do still exist in SWARM, and if devs knew how to tinker, they could actually make them active again...But it would require a lot of tinkering to do so, because they would have to fix how the statistics system works as well to accommodate it. I leave the stat system as it is now, because I think it's a great iteration of how the statistics should be gathered.

I had plans to not make the 5 minute loop not definitive, and have multiple threads controlling the miners, then the statistics, so everything could run concurrently...I just have not implemented such a change yet.
