As for fixed difficulty. You should use it only if you experience lower hashrate than expected. If you don't have issues then it's best to use VARDIFF (so don't setup difficulty by password).
The issues are mainly with some ASIC miners built of several chips (double digit number of chips) and if these chips are sometimes going dead/frozen. If you have 28 MH/s miner with 128 chips and VARDIFF sets your miner to send one share per 10 seconds, then each individual chip will send one share per 20 minutes if you have as much as 128 chips in one miner. If these chips tend to fall dead then the chip controller might not detect it quickly enough (to restart it) if they're supposed to send one share per 20 minutes and in result your hashrate will get down, because your miner won't be using all of its chips.
If this is the case, then you might want to try using fixed difficulty to send more frequent shares. Remember that valid difficulty values are powers of two: 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048, 4096, 8192, 16384, 32768, 65536.
As a rule of thumb:
- if you have 16 chips or more, multiply your miner MHs * 32 and round up to the next diff value. E.g. 3.5 MH/s miner with 16 chips: 3.5 * 32 = 112, round up to 128.
- if you have 32 chips or more, multiply your miner MHs * 16 and round up to the next diff value. E.g. 12 MH/s miner with 32 chips: 12 * 16 = 192, round up to 256.
- if you have 64 chips or more, multiply your miner MHs * 8 and round up to the next diff value. E.g. 28 MH/s miner with 128 chips: 28 * 8 = 224, round up to 256.
Please never use difficulty lower than your MHs * 8.
Also, when you test everything with these values, please try to use one step higher and see if it's still OK. So if you have 12 MH/s miner with 32 chips and you used 256 and it's OK, change it to 512 and see if it's still OK, because at 256 your miner will send one share per 1.4 second and this is too frequent (and 28 MH/s miner will send two shares per second). This should be used only as emergency if your miner has issues with higher difficulty - as an exception, not a rule.
Sending more frequent shares than one per 10 seconds makes sense only if your chips are falling dead and you need to make them find shares faster (in order to faster detect if they're dead and not sending shares as expected and to restart them). Hammering the pool with one share per second isn't healthy neither for the pool nor for you (using more bandwidth) and should be used only if necessary.
So, if you don't experience issues, just use VARDIFF. If you play with manual difficulty, always please check one step higher to see if it also works fine with your miner. All this manual difficulty should be needed only for miners with falling chips where the miner controller silently restarts them if they're dead.

I'd be happy to return on CleverMining if/when X11 and/or scrypt-n is/will be supported
We're launching X11 and Scrypt-N this week! |

We're launching X11 and Scrypt-N this week! Great news! Are you going to implement X13 as well? That's awesome news! Especially now Scrypt-N proves to be this profitable, and X11 too. Both appear to be more profitable than scrypt / just mining LTC. Soon or later the Scrypt market will be based allmost purely on Scrypt ASICS. Can't wait to receive mine though  . |

I hope that someone can explain me how the pool works.
I started in this pool with around 560 Mh/s 4 days ago, 1st day average was 540 mh's, 2nd day 480 mh's, 3rd day420 mh's and now 380 mh's.
I have review every miner 3 times, restart them and base on cgminer I should have well over 500 mh's, why the pool is showing less every day? mh's,
Is anybody experiencing the same?
I move everything back to my old pool and it shows 539.
I'm testing 6 miners out of 21 again and it shows 30% less?
I will appreciate some feedback in this.
thanks
I want to thank Terk, that after he add the difficulty and review what my miners are doing and gave me few pointers, now my miners are performing where they should be. thanks Terk  |

Hello,
I have been mining on this fabulous clevermining of yours for days now. Unfortunately there hasn't been any payout at all in 12 days. Would some of you please look into the matter? The BTC address
1NB7s2uADPoJTw1VHCz5v6jhihcCeGg3WF
is correct. I'd very much love to keep being a "small" part of clevermining.
Thank you very much
Yours
Salina

Great news, I will then stick to CleverMining Thanks! I notice that some operator start to offer auto-algorithm-switch based on profitability. Is that in the pipeline for CleverMining? I'd be happy to run some test if required. |

We're launching X11 and Scrypt-N this week! Are there any good resources that people can recommend to convert my GPU miner (running windows and cgminer) to x11 or scrypt-n? Also - which one of those options should I be considering more (I have 4x7950) |

It will give you extra power on both. If you need more info let me know. |

I hear waffle is working on Scrypt-N and X11, are you guys going to?
And with normal gpu rigs like 280x's which would be most profitable?
Thanks
Indeed WafflePool does now support X11 and Scrypt-N. According to their calculation it looks more profitable than Scrypt: scrypt vsLTC: 107% nscrypt vsLTC: 160% x11 vsLTC: 135% I'll be switching to WafflePool shortly this week ; mainly for X11 profit switching mining. I'll keep CleverMining as Scrypt pool but looking at profitability I plan to run scrypt-n during day time and x11 at night. I'd be happy to return on CleverMining if/when X11 and/or scrypt-n is/will be supported oh course its more profitable, and has been for some time now .. ever since summer hit less coins are coming out for scrypt and scrypt prices are in the shitter |

You should try not setting difficulty at all and use vardiff. Only if you experience issues of your hashrate being lower than expected or unstable, then you should try fixed difficulty. More details on this here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=448649.msg7360436#msg7360436 |
