So I was under the impression that the difficulty just meant that blocks were found more slowly. But it appears that my hashrate has fallen about 20% across all of my miners. Is this to be expected? I'll check the miners when I get home, but I thought my MH/s would remain unaffected, I would just have a smaller payout.
I guess I'm still a little unclear how the difficulty affects the mining. Can someone enlighten me on what my expectations should be?
The Pool GH/s has gone up another 1,000 gh/s which effects pay out % not your hashrate, nor would a diff increase that happened yesterday morning effect a hasah rate a day later....
However you are saying your HASHRATE went down.... I know some IP's were offline all morning so maybe you were using those ip's and therefore not mining for an hour or 2.
