Post by: MinerZz19 on July 08, 2014, 01:27:34 PM
What is the differecte between the difficulty levels do i get more payout if i mine at a higher level ?

Because i get more shares on a low difficulty.
And i think i am paid in shares so is it better to mine at a low or high diff ?

You just simply select the hashrate you have.  It makes no real difference in your pay, only the amount of bandwidth you use to get work and send shares.  The higher the difficulty you select the less bandwidth you consume which is good for you and the pool.

Read the link ckolivas posted too.

Edit: also BTC Guild uses dynamic difficulty.  So if you select a too low of a value the pool will adjust it dynamically.  So the one you select is the floor value and the pool will adjust up if necessary but not down.
