Quick question about Pseudo Share settings for you miner when using P2Pool.

Everything I have read says to set your Pseudo Share using ADDRESS+SETTING. In the calculation for SETTING I see where you use the (miner speed * 0.0000016).

My question is what does the 0.0000016 represent?  I can't find any information regarding this calculation anywhere...

I've never seen that formula before, nor have I read anywhere that it's a must to manually set a pseudoshare difficulty level (unless you're renting from NiceHash, which requires a minimum pseudoshare difficulty level of 65,536.

There isn't much, if any, of a performance advantage in manually setting a pseudoshare difficulty level. It's usually best to simply leave it to P2Pool to set the pseudoshare difficulty level for you.
