DiffA and a blockdifficulty

[Moneybox007]

Hi,

I'm running a bitcoin loterymachine. The miner only has 4Th witch i'm running at 1Th. There is something i find hard to understand and could not find an answer to. In the admin screen of the miner it talks about difficulty and diffA.

After a couple off days running the diffA sits at around 40.000.000 . After i turn the miner off it starts over again starting from 0. If i look at the difficulty of the new blocks they are around
40.000.000.000 or so. Is it right that the miner needs to run for a couple of weeks to even come close of the todays block difficulty? Or i'm i compleetly wrong.

DiffA is the amount of work accepted by whatever you are mining to.
If you are solo mining, it means very little.

Finding a block is random, you are not working up to finding it.

On Bitcoin your chances of finding a block in a day with 1TH is 1 in 998319.7 (i.e. about 1 in a million)

If you are pool mining, your reward is based on the amount of work you've sent to the pool when they reward you.
The miner simply keeps track of the amount of work you've done since last you started it.

If you are asking about some other coin, then don't do that here in the Bitcoin area.

Each and every share you do is a shot for a block.  It is an unlikely shot but a shot.
As Kano said 1th is about 1,000,000 for a day

You have 4th so if it is BTC you overall daily chance is 250,000 to 1 or basically most unlikely

Im solo mining bitcoin. So thank you for your reply's

I know the chances are very small. I like the proces and i want to fully understand bitcoin butt sometimes the proces is unclear.  There is al lot writen about it butt the questions i have are not always answered. Or the answers on the internet are quit short.
