Title: Diff goes up by my take continues unchanged???
Post by: lakehead on June 22, 2011, 02:07:52 PM
I use slush, and I've only been on it for four weeks.  I've seen three difficulty increases but my rate of coin attainment has stayed steady.  Is this because the slush pool grows as the overall hashes grow? and therefore the overall slush take improves or maintains?

if slush grew with the difficulty, your shares will stay the same but the percent of your contribution drops. that is, unless you are generating more shares.

if your amount of shares stay the same (essentially your Mhash/s), and difficulty goes up (due to increased mining power on the network) then your "daily rake" would not stay the same.

what you are describing is an impossibility. or a bug in slush's pool.

Yah. That's what I thought.
I must be suffering from wishful thinking.
