The simple answer is, unless there's a problem with your firmware, there's no need to set the work diff on the web site.
Setting it on the web site will only take effect if you set it above the pool's calculated value.

If there is a problem with the firmware then avoid using a power of 2 like 2048 - instead use a little higher e.g. 2052

As usual, remember that the work difficulty has no effect on your reward other than variance.
Higher diff means higher variance, but not much of an effect unless you make it a lot high e.g. if you set it 10x higher.

kano's right 9as always), I did several tests with setting diff on the website, and finally and stopped and I let the pool decide what's best (s3+ and S5's)

how long before I start getting stats on ckpoolmonitor at zachmonroe.com

[sorry2xs]

what is wrong with the stats

what is wrong with the stats

what is wrong ?

[sorry2xs]

my miners are hashing but no shares

[zOU]

You mean the share column shows 0 ?

yes the problem is not the pool is with MRR my rigs were highjacked from the rental company for over an hour

Well, remember that if they are Bitmain miners, they default to allow anyone access 2 ways:

1) user/pass like most miners, have a default that you need to change
But also:
2) API, bitmain set the API so that anyone with network access can change your pool settings

So check them both.

Also note that if you reset the miner it will go back to the default

well 2 of the miners bitmain one is spondoolie-tech and the last one is the A6 as for passwords the first thing i do is to change them,as for the api the two bitmain products don't allow me ssh access and i have not figured out how to check the api.
Edit:just heard from MRR now they state that they show the rig was submitting work for that time frame so i asked for the code

alright just getting back into things with a antminer s4.  I used to mine on slush but from what ive noticed slush is not really decent anymore.  Doing some reading up and kano seems like a dude I can support and in turn receive support.  So im joining the pool, only question is should I set my difficulty to 2048?  Is that still applicable with the latest s4 firmware?

Appreciate the answer, and I am letting the server decide then.  As far as I am aware I dont think there is an issue with the s4 firmware other than not being great, like it freaking out when I set it to a static IP.  And it changing IPs every few minitues on DHCP.  And running 4.8.0 miner.

Not sure what kind of router you have but some routers allow you to assign a specific DHCP address to a device.  That way your S4s stay on DHCP and each time they request a new IP, the router sends the same one they had last time.  My Cisco/Linksys E3000 can do this and it works great.

that seems like a giant pain that i keeps jumping IPs. there any new firmware that fixes that or is that permanent to the s4.

or better yet, sell that paper weight and turn it into a couple s5 or a new s7.

Well I bridged a wireless linksys router with ddwrt on it, to my time warner wireless router.  And the antminer s4 is connected to the linksys router.  The time warner router is acting as the gateway and controlling/issuing IPs.  Ive try to set it to a static IP or reserved IP but its not taking.

Also I just bought this lol.  For $265 on ebay so I will want to run it for a bit.  My goal would be to mine enough to buy an S7 but that could take a while if ever.

maybe try relisting, maybe the person you beat in the auction will buy. see if you can get yourself 2 s5's would be more power efficient, which would allow greater profit thus a faster s7. im sure there are plenty on here people are selling.

Considering I would also have to buy a power supply for the S5s it would put the cost of ownership much higher than the s4 I bought.

Two S5 hashing power = 2300GHs.  Only 300 more than my S4, not bad though.
Two S5 power draw = 1180 watts.  Vs 1400 for the S4.  A bit better power efficiency.

Cost to purchase two s5 units without power supplies = $160 per unit on ebay.  So total of $320.  Thats $60 over what I paid for the S4.
Cost to purchase two s5 units WITH power supplies = About $200 per unit.  So about $135 over the S4.

Im too lazy to do all the math for the profit difference but I doubt its a large enough gap.  Electricity will kill me though, but luckily I live in an area where I get .08kwh

This block at 243% and guess whose node is down again (it went down just as we passed 100)?

I think I have a disk failing.

I run a Netgear R6700 router, and am able to assign DHCP addresses to specific devices so they don't change over time. I can also open the ports for a full node.

Anyone else notice how Slush is simply not finding blocks? I sort of keep an eye on it as I used to mine there some time ago before coming here. I now understand, though, that it's due to Kano and CK's sharp work that this pool is performing better, all luck aside.

You can find good answers here.

I mined slush before coming here and I've noticed the same thing. I wonder what is going on.

Does anyone know how to lock down the API on an S7?
