Now you can set starting difficulty value by typing like "d=0.01" at worker's password.

This would help big hash miners to catch up to its own hardware limit faster than ever.

1. Run your miner program and check your difficulty value.
   Keep in mind that difficulty value must be stabilized.
   We recommend you to get difficulty value at least after 10 minutes of mining.

2. Set this difficulty value to worker's password as "d=XXXX"
   ex) d=0.0312
   Do not write this value to miningpoolhub's worker page, just write it at miner configuration file.

3. Now run your miner program again.
   You will see your miner running at the difficulty value you typed.

4. Difficulty value can go up and down again. It's not a bug.
   d=XXX just gives us hint at start and it doesn't enforce diff value to be fixed.

Far wrong diff value may corrected automatically, but you'd better write optimized value.

Big hash miners who are using rentals, multi-algo, ASIC would get better result with difficulty hint.

Please can you to be more clear about point "2", I see that claymore setting the diff with number without "dot" example "52216", can you write an example string to put in the config file? Thanks in advance

good luck with it... I've yet to get the d=xxx to work on any of my antminers ... I've been hoping for them to get the Siacoin pool to work with the A3 but no luck there (it keeps setting the diff to 1 no matter what I put). If they would get it to work they could save the siacoin pool on MPH instead of having a dead pool in the list. In the mean time I'm sending 3.4TH to siamining.com waiting on MPH to get this to work. I guess that is why the scrypt and x11 also don't seem to get much traffic.
