Hey all,
What is the advantage of submitting higher difficulty shares? Is it simply to save bandwidth?

Well Stratum already lowers the number of stales, I've personally found that a higher diff reduces the number of stales even further. IIRC, Stratum + VarDiff is designed to keep you as close to 18 shares/minute. This keeps the bandwidth relatively constant, regardless of hashrate.

So basically this is a no brainier for my bandwidth constrained locations? |

I'm not exactly sure, but I believe it tries to regulate your incoming shares to ~18/minute. I've manually set mine to a higher number. Right now I'm using 12, and each single gets ~1share/minute. |

Automatically set on an algorythm that averages your shares over 5 mins then adjusts for a target of 18/minute Or you can set manually a higher diff that wont change auto - in the range 1 - 1000 that suits you  |
