...PPS, Pay Per Share, pays you for each share you submit regardless of whether a block is found. I appreciate your insights, os2sam. You might be calming my concerns, but let me ask further. What are "shares" in this context? Do different miners submit different amounts of shares? A share is what we submit and hope is a block solution. It's a hash and if it meets or exceeds current difficulty it will find a block, most don't. A USB Block Erupter submits approximately 333 Million shares per second and an S9 submits about 14 Trillion shares per second. Cheers! So we are generally paid according to the performance of our machines, after all, regardless of what pools we choose? |

At nice hash I am consistently finding at least 4 blocks per week, often as high as 8
Nicehash uses your hashrate to rent to other people. Those other people are mining altcoins with your hash rate. So those blocks found by your miners are for altcoins with lower difficulty and not for Bitcoin. I hope you realize that I am being compensated at nice hash, albeit at a low but steady rate, but not at all at private mining pools. So my question is not really about nice hash, rather about the private pools. Why cant I find blocks at the private pools, when I seem to find them so easily at nIce hash? os2sam, I see, you addressed it after all. I missed it on first read. Are there any pools that reward miners according to blocks found, but with comparable find rates of nicehash? That is, I don't mind if the reward is low, as long as it is directly related to blocks found. |

I have been mining for a few months. I have tried many mining pools. It seems to me that I find blocks easily in mining pools where finding blocks is not rewarded, but not at all where blocks are rewarded. At nice hash I am consistently finding at least 4 blocks per week, often as high as 8. But I have tried pools where such accomplishment is rewarded, ran the miner a week at a time, and I just ended up with zilk in my wallet. If I would be rewarded for my 4 - 8 blocks at the rate said to be the reward for such accomplishment at the private mining pools, I would do quite well financially. But I don't  . There is mischief in this  ! There has to be. Someone help decode it. |

What is/are the cause(s) of share rejection?
They are either invalid (bad hash of good data) or stale (good hash of bad data) When a block is found any share you are working on or submitting is no longer worth anything. They are stale. If you push GPU too hard it will make mathematical errors producing invalid hashes. What does it mean to push a miner too hard? |

Hi Machine Zero..... Any reason diff_23592 for the L3+ ? Thanks
You can use this simple formula to find out your starting difficulty: Instance speed in MH / 1.4 / 1000 * 65536. Example for 300MH it would be 300 / 1000 / 1.4 * 65536 = 14043.42 which equals to -p diff_14043. To be on a safe side you can use next power of two integer value, which is: log base 2(14043.42) = 13.77 = pow(2,14) = 16384. Unless there is no particular reason please do not set your diff inside password string. The pool auto adjusts per instance difficulty to maintain a share rate of approximately 3 shares per 10 seconds.
Antminer L3+ is 504/MHs 504 / 1000 / 1.4 * 65536 = 23,592.96 TBDice advises that you do not set "difficulty" as their system adjusts difficulty automatically, but if you set yours then yours will not be adjusted below your setting. I tried to set the miner without the "diff_xxxx" part, and that doesn't work. My activity then belongs to the pool. How would you configure this without setting a difficulty level? |

Screw you all, for your alien lingo!
sorry, i meant to be polite because i have a question. so, please, wtf difficulty should i choose if "i mine solo"?
I have been "finding" 2 to 3 blocks every week at Nisehash, and getting a max of $20 a day for it. I figured that if i was mining solo I would have gotten between $2250 and $3375 for my 2 to 3 finds of LTC (@ $45/LTC) a week.
Then I decide to move over to TBdice, I invest my time as ever, and learn how to set my account. But nobody tells me how to select the "diff' level, which is part of the "miner configuration". Now I am watching my "worker" burn kwatts and deafen me, but no "BTC" into my "wallet". Is it something i did wrong, or should i sit easy and watch the power gauge going up and up, in confidence that soon and very soon I will "find a block"?
I like abstract thinkers, and whoever coined this crap is the best i have ever experienced. I just donwanna lose money for my love of abstract thinking. To my aid, rush one, rush all, and may the riches you dream be yours, whenever possibile.
