Hello,
First time on miningpoolhub, rented some hashpower on nicehash and trying to connect port 17014 (qubit) but nicehash gives an error "difficulty too low" it says that it should be at least 0.05 but pools difficulty is 0.03 and because of that, it just doesn't even connects to the pool.
btw i have connected with password d=8 which works well with other pools that i'm using. Is there any configuration that i'm missing for nicehash?

Don't need to set the difficulty.
It should be fine if nicehash would able to start mining and vardiff kicks in but it wouldn't even start mining because starting diff is too low for nicehash, it just disconnects.
Output of their pool verification without setting difficulty with password (same as setting diff with password):

Your pool is shown as incompatible therefore we encourage you to contact pool operator to make sure that the pool is using minimal/starting pool share difficulty which is compatible with our service (and thus compatible with today's miners), please send them link to our FAQ on this topic: https://www.nicehash.com/index.jsp?p=faq#faqb3. Thank you!NiceHash have probably increased the minimum. Mine seems to be currently connected at 0.1 difficulty but it's obviously variable so it may drop to 0.03 and fail at some point. MiningPoolHub will have to check it.
