Title: Question on Stratum + OZcoin Post by: yochdog on January 03, 2013, 05:42:20 PM Hey all,
What is the advantage of submitting higher difficulty shares? Is it simply to save bandwidth? Title: Re: Question on Stratum + OZcoin Post by: crazyates on January 03, 2013, 05:57:53 PM Well Stratum already lowers the number of stales, I've personally found that a higher diff reduces the number of stales even further. IIRC, Stratum + VarDiff is designed to keep you as close to 18 shares/minute. This keeps the bandwidth relatively constant, regardless of hashrate.

So basically this is a no brainier for my bandwidth constrained locations?

Title: Re: Question on Stratum + OZcoin Post by: Graet on January 10, 2013, 09:25:44 AM Automatically set on an algorythm that averages your shares over 5 mins then adjusts for a target of 18/minute
Or you can set manually a higher diff that wont change auto - in the range 1 - 1000 that suits you :) |
