Currently I'm experimenting solo alt coin mining, but I have 1 question.

For example cgminer is showing diff of 283K for BBQchain, but in block explorer difficulty is around 4k? Same thing is if I mine ChinaCoin?

Is this just cgminer display glitch or it is mining at wrong difficulty?

Thanks in advance

Scrypt difficulty is converted in cgminer. Actual difficulty is the shown value divided by 2**16 (65536).

why is scrypt difficulty not converted when poolmining in cgminer then ??

ahhahahhahahahahhhaa

cgminer will not submit anything below that *65536 number. means you need to do *65536 more work then needed when solomining before it even will consider submitting the hashes.

it only means one thing really, write your own miner.
