If you mean a pool difficulty it is filtering out shares below a certain threshold to reduce network bandwidth. It leverages high hash rates, theory being you will find so many shares over a certain difficulty a second with a certain hashrate. Setting the difficulty too high will really hurt your mining return, but setting it too low might leave your miner wasting time looking for new work on the pool.

Any share your miner finds below the current pool difficulty is not sent to the pool, but you get paid more for each share you do submit. Different pools implement this different ways, but you generally get paid more for higher difficulty shares. In the end it is supposed to average out to the same pay as submitting every single valid share you find.


Please DO NOT send me private messages asking for help setting up GPU miners. I will not respond!!!

okay.. i was asking because i use cex.io and i tryed to connect my miner to the ghash.io network just without luck. its counting shares but the worker dont show up on the website. and each time i start the miner it says that the Stratum Difficulty is 512.

512 is a lot. What mining equipment are you using ? Or your hashrate...

With stratum difficulty 1 you should get about 2 shares per minute, with stratum difficulty 512 about one share every 3 hours.

I wish you patience then  Cheesy

Base on my understanding, stratum difficulty is the speed of giving your miner works.

If you have high hash 600H/S GPU you would want a higher difficulty so it wont waste time submitting share too fast.

I realize this a little late but for stratum difficulty here is a handy chart, which actually comes from the site for the pool you were at and tells you how to change it:

With that mining speed, your mining revenue would only be a fraction of your electricity cost.

If you are on gash.io leave it on 16; which is the minimum

Here´s a table for the suggested Difficulty-settings if you are mining with own hardware on GHash.io (Cex.io).

GH/sDiff.
1-3216
33-6432
65-12864
129-256128
257-512256
513-1024512
>1024
1024

If you use virtual hash-power from cex.io your difficult will be fixed 16.


EXAMPLES: As the table above shows up you would set the Diff. to 128 for a Antminer S1 and to 1024 for a Terraminer IV.
