Title: question about setting difficulty for workers on BTCGUILD
Post by: messville on January 11, 2014, 09:37:52 AM
Hi Folks,

I Just had a quick question if thats OK.

I have 4 blades running on btc guild, 3 overclocked V1 blades and 1 normal V2 blade.

I have them all running on one slush stratum proxy exe but pointed at btc guild.

When I had one blade (the V2) the proxy showed 8 difficulty and I set the one worker on btc guild to the same 8 difficulty.

But now when running all 4 blades the proxy shows 32 difficulty for each of the 4 workers, not 8 difficulty for each.

My question is what do I set the worker difficulty to on btc guild for each worker, 8 or 32 ?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Thanks.

The setting on the dashboard only sets your *minimum* difficulty level, so eventually you'll always end up at 32 if you continue to use 4 blades via 1 proxy.  If you plan to always use 4 through one proxy, you should probably just set it to 32.  If you think you might change that setup later, then you might consider setting it to 8.

Thank You for the reply eleuthria.

I will try to work out how to run multiple proxies but for now I am stuck with one so I will set the difficulty accordingly.

Thanks Again.
