Any advice on which port to use for 330 sol/s rigs?
PORT (VARDIFF):   7007
HIGH DIFF PORT (VARDIFF):   7077
STATIC PORT (DIFF20):   8008
STATIC PORT (DIFF500):   8088

HIGH DIFF PORT (VARDIFF):   7077 - the best in my opinion



Reason I like to use a vardiff port is to try and get a share within a few seconds.  I prefer to have my rig run about double to triple diff to hash. So if I have a 100 sol/s rig my diff would be around 200-300.  That way when I have a block change and shares are rejected I don't loose as much work. I'd rather a 300 diff share be rejected vs 6400.  That is my reasoning. To each their own. It really boils down to how your rig performs on each port. Everyone will have different results if only perspective.

I tried port 7007 and after a little while the dashboard showed that my worker was adjusted from 500H all the way up to 6000H.  I then tried port 7077 and it very quickly adjusted my worker back down down to 6000H from 6400H.  I guess it doesn't make much difference but it looks like port 7077 gets my worker where the pool wants it faster.  If you really want a lower difficulty then you would need to use one of the static ports (8088).

Yes your not giving it enough time. It freaks out a bit a first since you bombard it with shares on 7007. Then after adjusting high as heck it will start to correct down.  Give it about an hour and it will be settled in.  Again it's what works best for you.
