Title: Mining solo with Network difficulty set to 16.6 M (but I am using doge) Post by: zerodrama on December 20, 2013, 05:46:57 AM Doge difficulty is 317. Why is cgminer setting net diff to 16.6 M when mining solo? Also getting lots of rejects. But not at pools.

It can't be 16.6M at diff 317.. it should be 317*65536 = 20.7M Title: Re: Mining solo with Network difficulty set to 16.6 M (but I am using doge) Post by: zerodrama on December 20, 2013, 05:59:06 AM Doge difficulty is 317.

Ok now that makes sense. So Net difficulty is expressed in shares, but coin difficulty is expressed in block difficulty?

Ok now that makes sense. So Net difficulty is expressed in shares, but coin difficulty is expressed in block difficulty? for historical reasons Scrypt-based coins use different difficulty units. Where a block of Diff 1 requires 65536*65536 hashes in average to be solved. And cgminer doesn't auto-convert that difficulty. |
