Is there a reason to even send/receive the golden packets if the result is ignored?

It's not all of them, only a small portion. Most work fine and respond to the golden OB. Some do not, but still hash fine if you tell them to get on with it. Verified myself with user HW.

Right, my point is why bother sending and waiting for the response, when you're just going to ignore it? Why not just skip that and add_cgpu etc (when this flag is set)?

BTW all Zeus gen 1 chips have 8 cores and will probably be that way for a while...might not want to have the core # user configurable

Sorry folks - my Push hid some comments. @jstefanop please test this latest code if you can and verify if your diff fixes are still required or if Luke's suggestions work.
