Title: [ASK] About difficulty
Post by: g0an6 on April 09, 2021, 03:35:59 AM
I just wanted to learn to mine.
I already have asic S9 2 units.
At the time will start mining and read the guide on some POOL. I am still a little confused for the difficulty selection.
Is there a difference in the selection of Low difficulty or High difficulty?
With the tools I have, which difficulty should I choose?
And what is the recommended standard difficulty for my asic?

I explain it on the help page on my pool :)

Difficulty doesn't matter in terms of expected reward.
Most pools should set it to a useful value for you automatically.

Which pool is asking you to enter your own difficulty figures? it's 2021 already and all reasonable pools will do that for you, as a miner owner all you need to worry about is entering the correct URL, username, and password if the pool expects you to put more effort you should probably find a different pool.

Some pools, however, have a special port for hash power rentals from the likes of Nicehash, those will have the higher difficulty set to them, since you have your own gears just use the default port.
