I see that you use fixed difficulty. For instance, if you start on diff 500, you constantly stay at 500. Other pools have a more dynamic approach. Is there a way I can increase diff manually? My GPU on diff 10000 sends your pool hashes every 6.4 seconds, my CPU on diff 5000 sends every 14.5 seconds... on official pool, my CPU stabilizes around dif 30000 and my GPU around 150000.
You can set your diff fixed at the clientside. At least with my pool @ sumo.pandapool.nl (which also suffers bad luck as I mentioned earlier in this thread). Just put the diff behind your wallet address, like: "Sumooxxxxxxxx
.100000". This will set your diff to 100K.
Thanks for the tip. I used this on fairpool a while ago, but ms-pool's faq didn't mention they supported this feature.
It's true that with higher network diff, smaller pools are experiencing huge luck issues.
