I just started mining this on the official US pool and I see it implements the terminally broken vardiff system so common to Cryptonote pools.
I'm doing about 720 H/s on the 5555 port and diff is already at 129922 after a mere 10 minutes. I understand that higher difficulty shares are worth more, but that is only true if they get solved/submitted in a timely fashion.
Usually one specifies a fixed diff on similar pools by inserting either a "+" or a "." in between and . I read the first page and the last 3 pages of post but didn't see this mentioned for ird.cashpool.us (I did see that a pool in France offers fixed diff, but ping time isn't too good for me here in the US).
Hello, there is no "official" pool I'm doing about 720 H/s on the 5555 port and diff is already at 129922 after a mere 10 minutes. I understand that higher difficulty shares are worth more, but that is only true if they get solved/submitted in a timely fashion.

each belong to their dev. Maybe ird.cashpool.us did not allow it. I just implement it on https://irdpool.fr
EDIT : Pedant ? I'm just trying to help. Next time I will just answer : "No pool support here : ask directly to the owner"
I gave you some sass in my edit because you took the time to correct my description of ird.cashpool.us but didn't take the time to read the part which I bolded above for extra emphasis.
As for why I asked about it here rather than email the pool owner directly, I thought an answer to my question would be of interest to others. I know many feel the same way I do about the totally dysfunctional vardiff strategy usually implemented on Cryptonote pools and it is only by complaining about it loudly and often that anything will ever get done - after all, there was a reason you implemented fixed diff, no?
