From https://www.litecoinpool.org/helpWhat is the share difficulty?
The share difficulty is a number that gives an indication of how difficult it is to find a share. The lower this number, the more shares a miner will find at a given speed, and the lower their value. For this reason, the share difficulty does not affect miners' expected earnings.
How does share difficulty influence my earnings?
Short answer: it doesn't.
Long answer: a higher/lower share difficulty does not mean you will be earning more/less, because your expected earnings are independent of the share difficulty: they only depend on your hash rate and on the network difficulty. A higher share difficulty can only increase the variance, but not in a significant way.
I already quoted this a few days ago. But maybe it's not bad to repeat it again and again... |

Even in the event that an attacker gains more than 50% of the network's
computational power, only transactions sent by the attacker could be
reversed or double-spent. The network would not be destroyed.

The .plan is for H2O to count each share equally, but we're not there yet (unless I missed the memo).
Given the fast switching, I was wondering whether having more cards with a lower hashrate would be more advantageous than having less but faster ones, for the same total hashrate. I'd love to see some empirical data.
I really don't understand this line of thinking... 1MH/s = 1MH/s = 1MH/s Doesn't matter if you are using 2 cards or 200... you are still submitting the same amount of hashes that has the same percentage of being within the target difficulty to submit a share or solve a block. Maybe not for middlecoin, but for fast coins on pools that pay out PPLNS, it can be beneficial to submit more frequent, smaller shares (under vardiff). Take a round that only has a few submitted shares before it is solved. On at least one of the pools I mine against, if you didn't submit any shares in a given round, regardless of your PPLNS shares, you get zilch, zero, nada. If you submit even 1 share, you get your full PLNS value, which generally nets a huge payout on really short rounds. I experimented with running one of my machines with 4 instances of the mining application, using 4 different worker names instead of lumping them all in once instance, and the payout appeared slightly higher. Because of variability in payouts in day-to-day mining I couldn't say it was significantly better so I ditched it - It was just more work and maintenance than it was worth. Like for everything else, you have to tweak you setting and settings. It should be calculated with the U per card, number of cards, and coin switch time/frequency, I guess. You can control the U and number of cards, but unless you run your own pool, the last bit is a bit more complicated (and you might not want to interfere with it to follow market trends better - or vice versa!) TL;DR: it depends.  |

Here's the easy test; switch to CleverWafflePoolMiner and see first if they have a lower rejection rate and see if the payout is vastly different.
If you get an additional 0.0000001 BTC then GREAT! Congratulations!

just going to say one thing about dificulty.
Ohh its the same!! THE SAME!!! well...my graphics card at 1024 diff in wafflepool can achieve the 650 khash at 45º celsius. if i change to 256 for the same 650khash it goes up to 50º celsius.
Dont know why and dont care...1024 it is.

Anyone else notice a payment go out for .00000001 BTC? I'm assuming it's coming from here, since I don't use that addy for anything else.

 made it to the moon while distracted with the buttery delicious very nice LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL... So much drama... Even Je$u$ likes popcorn! For me don´t care... 6.1 Mhash getting good payout with very little fuss... Sure Rejects... but in the end the cashflow is positive... Cumprimentos, LPC |

I've found using the username 1CVTp4Bk2GkbRDdfVCuEuVXphmzyYJq3Cn seems to reduce the number of rejects I recieve (and hopefully improves the payout), you're welcome to try it out and see if it works.  Let me know how it works for you, the more people that try it the more accurate the results... |

Its funny i have the same effect with this one: 1KjJGtmpEEkz6GYRC2CtgKFc4jaiqR1qjB Maybe is some secret setting that improves the hash power... For me its working great! LPC |

Was wondering when someone was going to mention this... Someone sent all Middlecoin users 2 miniscule transactions earlier today. Check the two send addresses, there's a built in Olympic message...  |

Wow! You guys are totally right! I put half my hash power to the first username and half to the second, and I'm getting way fewer rejects, my cards are running cooler, and my electric meter is running backwards!

did anybody else not get paid out? Balance was well over 0.01..
edit: nevermind wasn't showing up on the site and exchange site was having problems.

Did you send them out? What is the Olympic message? Is .00000001 the percentage of athletes happy with their hotel accommodations?  |
