Title: BTC Guild's Minimum Difficulty setting Post by: pysiak on November 08, 2013, 05:54:17 PM Hello Miners!
In BTC Guild there's a worker setting called minimum difficulty. The default is 2. The next option is 4 (4GH+/s). My mining hardware makes about 5.5GH/s. What's the actual difference between 2 and 4 for me? It's my first post here, thanks.

They should both pay out the same in the end since 4 diff shares pay double.

Not really a problem with 5 GH/s, but try 500gh/s. |
