Title: [Nicehash] Stratum difficulty doesn't lower
Post by: JeckNoise on January 15, 2018, 06:23:42 PM
Hi guys, I have an issue that relates to stratum difficulty on Nicehash stratum server.

My setup is 1x 1070 and 1x 1070ti and I manage to have 2,3/2,4 MH/s for noescrypt algo which gives me an average of 0,0011 btc per day.

I only mine neoscrypt 'cos it is the most stable and profitable in the 24h between all algos I tried.

The only problem is that it often happens that the miner gives no shares for 5-6 minutes and it lower my hashpower and earnings a lot.

I use ccminer KlausT, and when I start it, it sets the stratum difficulty to 4096 (which is supposedly too high for my setup) and after 2 minutes of no given shares it always lower the difficulty to 2048.

Now the 2048 difficulty works sometimes, but other times it gives me no shares for 5+ minutes, and the miner doesn't lower the difficulty under that parameter, preventing me to give more shares and stopping my earnings for 5 minutes or more.
Here some examples:

Can you tell me if it's normal or do I have to do something to get the best from my rigs and not wasting time with no shares?

There is nothing you can do. Some of the difficulties have a min. difficiutly and you can't lower it.

XMR is another one that has a very high difficulty and if you are only mining on 1 or 2 GPUs it will be a while until it finds a share.

Either way, overall it should average out and you will make the same amount of money anyways.
