Hi everyone, I hope it's okay to re-up an old thread? I wasn't sure my question warranted its own topic
I'm running my own mining pool and I'm trying to mine a coin with sha256d as its algo. I've set the pool difficulty for sha256 in the coin/algo configuration files in my pool to 500000 (the minimum required by NiceHash for sha256 -
https://www.nicehash.com/pool-operators). I can get solo miners to connect and mine blocks and they parse the difficulty as being 500000 -
https://imgbox.com/E2fIYofp. However, NiceHash pool verificator returns the "pool difficulty too low (provided=16, minimum=500000)" error (
https://imgbox.com/uWopLwOz) and miners from NiceHash orders fail to connect to the pool. What could the issue be and how do I fix this?
Thanks in advance!
Sincerely,
newlymintedcryptolover
EDIT 14/03/2022: I've managed to solve this - turns out, all I needed to do was add the line
nicehash = 750000 to the stratum part of the algo configuration file. Here's what the configuration file looks like now:
