I've been mining with Nicehash for a while now using Eligius. Eligius don't give miners the option to set difficulty but this has never been a problem until now. Suddenly my orders have all crapped out because it says the difficulty is 127.9980. 0.002 short of the minimum. Why is this? Something sounds a bit fishy? Is there an issues between Eligius & Nicehash???
We were forced to up minimum diff for SHA256 due to bad/slow controllers on modern fast ASICs that are not capable of working with low diffs.
Because there is not much difference between 128 and 127, we have changed min diff to 127 now.
Excellent. It just gets the ball rolling because the difficulty shoots up to over 8000 once a few miners are on board.
