My understanding is the best share diff greater than/equal to network Diff=solved block.
I have only mined for bitcoin in the past, after the bitmain antminer rush.
I really dont understand much in the gpu world
Thanks for your info JaredKaragen
P.S. I'm solo mining
yeah, I could tell by the pool stratum, etc....
The whole idea of the pool using less than network diff shares, is so it can calculate your hashrate and averages to give you mining statistics; if the share was at network diff, you would know nothing about the mining statistics till it reported a block.
Just gotta let it keep on goin, and see how long it takes.
you can also check for web mining calculators to see how much time [estimated] it would take your your hashrate to find a block at current diff....
