Shares sending seems to be slowing down after submitting 350 shares. Is this normal? I have noticed the stratum difficulty increases exponentially by x2 every time the miner adjusts to new difficulty.

Miner seems to be running stable with no invalid shares so far.

share submission will slow down - yes ...

as the stratum continuously adjusts ( its a little aggressive - but reliable ) the difficulty in the share goes up also - slowing the share submission down ...

higher difficulty shares have more chance of solving - than lower difficulty shares ... but the average should stablaize the longer the stratum has the miner connected and share submission is going ...

thats one of the reasons you see such huge fluctuations in hashrate at times on almost any pool you mine on ... pools work differently to miners for example ... pools average the hashrate - meaning they average the shares submitted between a certain amount of time to get the 'average' hashrate ...

the stratum itself is always adjusting diff - going up to reach its target diff - and going down to do the same ... thats what vardiff ( variable difficulty ) is all about ... so as your miner hashes - stratum adjusts accordingly ... sometimes its a little 'over aggressive' and increases the diff a little too high - but the shares that get submitted are higher difficulty shares at a slower rate ( which is fine ) - and as such - the stratum lowers the diff ... its constant ... all stratums do that - but this one is a custom stratum built for CWI ... it was built to be more robust and react to heavy hashrates much quicker ( its aggressiveness ) and 'ease' back to a lower diff when share submission slows back down ...

but with no invalid shares - CWIgm is doing well and the sigt daemon is running perfectly currently ...

Ah I see, that makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!
