can someone explain pool difficulty to me?
I have 12963MH/s from my one worker, and I set 9-16gh/s from the pool's dropdown menu and it says difficulty 8
my stratum proxy says also says
"proxy getwork_listener._on_submit # [0ms] Share from 'worker1' accepted, diff 8"
can someone explain what the benefit of this is? vs a difficulty of 1?
how does this effect my payout, how does it help the pool, pros cons etc

Difficulty just means you get bigger chunks to work on, which means you've less network bandwidth in use.

Pool skipped storing the block #237278, unfortunately the monitoring didn't woke me up at night. To fix it and be as fair as possible, I added the block reward into round 18141 (closed by block #237286) and recalculated block rewards. That's the reason for such high block value of #237286 ...
just quoting where Slush explained why the payout is higher on this block |

Since the bitcoind patch we haven't had any invalids. [EDIT] whereas if you click on the block number for an invalid, the blockchain info site states - Block Not Found - we haven't seen this since the patch - good job that man |

Nice Yes but in this case Google search doesn't return what you are looking... pool difficulty setting would... |

See: The adjustable difficulty is really for [high hashing devices] because those high-throughput devices would clog the server. By setting a higher difficulty, the machine deals with fewer shares but they are worth n*1 shares in [the pool's] stats.

Yes google customises results of the searches according to the state and user. I hate this "new" option... |

You could use https://startpage.com/ instead. Google results but 'neutral'... |
