I'm trying to understand the best share and how it relates to luck. What qualifies as a good best share?
A "best share" is nothing more than the largest share difficulty that your own miner(s) contributed. It doesn't have any actual correlation to anything (other than "bragging rights"). A "good" best share is relative to hashrate and time. At the current difficulty, a
truly good best share is one that's greater than 1,196,792,694,098.
