Hi, i am having troubles with my alcheminer scrypt miner when using bfgminer as a getwork to stratum proxy (also as a stratum to stratum proxy). My problem is that bfgminer send difficulty 0 to my miner.
Is there a way to fix it? Is the fault in my miner or is BFGminer sending difficulty in some strange way?
Difficulty >0 would be extremely hard for scrypt.
--set pxy:diff=1 should work, if you want to try it though.
I tried a bit more. On litecoinpool it works and the diff is sent correctly to the getwork miners. But i need to be able to set difficulty below one since that equals 65536 which is a bit high.
--set pxy:diff= works and it sets the diff correctly i.e --set pxy:diff=8192 gives diffculty 8192 (in scrypt) to the miners but i wont work on vardiff.
Ghash.io doesnt transmit the difficulty to the getwork miners so i need to set it manually but it doesnt work very well.
I have the python source code for the miner. Would it be possible to convert and add it to bfgminer? It uses serial communication to the chips.
Thanks for the reply.
