Title: What is Stratum Difficulty? Post by: orcanice on October 08, 2013, 07:49:33 PM Can someone explain it to me
Title: Re: What is Stratum Difficulty? Post by: pontiacg5 on October 08, 2013, 08:15:00 PM If you mean a pool difficulty it is filtering out shares below a certain threshold to reduce network bandwidth. It leverages high hash rates, theory being you will find so many shares over a certain difficulty a second with a certain hashrate. Setting the difficulty too high will really hurt your mining return, but setting it too low might leave your miner wasting time looking for new work on the pool.
Any share your miner finds below the current pool difficulty is not sent to the pool, but you get paid more for each share you do submit. Different pools implement this different ways, but you generally get paid more for higher difficulty shares. In the end it is supposed to average out to the same pay as submitting every single valid share you find. Title: Re: What is Stratum Difficulty? Post by: orcanice on October 08, 2013, 08:23:03 PM okay.. i was asking because i use cex.io and i tryed to connect my miner to the ghash.io network just without luck. its counting shares but the worker dont show up on the website. and each time i start the miner it says that the Stratum Difficulty is 512.

What mining equipment are you using ? Or your hashrate... Title: Re: What is Stratum Difficulty?

Post by: tescomatty on October 08, 2013, 10:51:35 PM on cex.io i got 178.03 Mh/s and my own laptop is mining with 10mh/s With stratum difficulty 1 you should get about 2 shares per minute, with stratum difficulty 512 about one share every 3 hours. I wish you patience then :D Title: Re: What is Stratum Difficulty? Post by: cowandtea on October 09, 2013, 07:46:43 AM Base on my understanding, stratum difficulty is the speed of giving your miner works.
If you have high hash 600H/S GPU you would want a higher difficulty so it wont waste time submitting share too fast. Title: Re: What is Stratum Difficulty? Post by: Zomb on November 26, 2013, 05:28:41 AM I realize this a little late but for stratum difficulty here is a handy chart, which actually comes from the site for the pool you were at and tells you how to change it:

Post by: Chiaki02 on November 26, 2013, 06:39:13 AM on cex.io i got 178.03 Mh/s and my own laptop is mining with 10mh/s With that mining speed, your mining revenue would only be a fraction of your electricity cost.

If you are on gash.io leave it on 16; which is the minimum Title: Re: What is Stratum Difficulty? Post by: cagrund on May 21, 2014, 01:11:47 PM Here´s a table for the suggested Difficulty-settings if you are mining with own hardware on GHash.io (Cex.io).
If you use virtual hash-power from cex.io your difficult will be fixed 16. EXAMPLES: As the table above shows up you would set the Diff. to 128 for a Antminer S1 and to 1024 for a Terraminer IV. |
