Title: Difficulty query Post by: 8kmode on April 18, 2013, 12:25:30 PM I am mining (well attempting to) solo mine PPC, with a hash rate of 680 - 690 mh/s.
If I understand it correctly, PPC's current difficulty is 307k, so for me to submit a winning block my best share (using CGMiner) would have to be over 307k. My issue is after a day of mining, my best share is 1.84k. So my questions are : Is there anyway to get my GPU to attempt higher shares? Does my best share increase the longer I mine? (e.g mining for 1 day will get 1.4, 2 days 2.8 etc etc) Any help would be greatly appreciated.

A share is basically a block, it's difficulty is random. You can only get an avg amount of time before you find a block with a high enough difficulty, but in no way can you control the difficulty of shares.If I understand it correctly, PPC's current difficulty is 307k, so for me to submit a winning block my best share (using CGMiner) would have to be over 307k.

Does that best share rate seem low for 24 hours mining though? I just restarted CGMiner - 1 hr ago - and the best share is only 131. All screenshots I see of other users CGMiner output has best shares waaay above mine, so yeah just wondering if I have messed up somewhere.

For instance, when I mined Bitcoin in 2011 with just 260mh/s my avg time was 20 weeks to find a block, I found it just 6 hours when I started soloing, then 10 days later I got another block. But I have not had one since. Though my best difficulty so far has been one million.Does that best share rate seem low for 24 hours mining though?

Thanks very much for the help though. |
