In case this got missed, just wana be sure I'm looking a this right even though I guess you'd have to be sort of dumb to not understand take x and divide by 1.4.
I've seen other sites say to take your hash and multiple by 1.4
Ex: 10 x 1.4 = 14
I believe with a difficulty of 14 and 10 GH/s, you'd be submitting roughly 12 shares per minute. Your stats would be a little bit more inaccurate on the website, but you would save a bit more bandwidth.
I was told this by another pool owner for stratum users. Especially ones who use stratum proxy
So when you enter the difficulty, you are entering a minimum difficulty.
As for difficulty, it is increased by variable difficulty if your minimum difficulty is not high enough for the hash rate of your connection. When pointing multiple machines at one proxy, the total speed of all hardware pointed at the proxy is used for vardiff (since stratum defines difficulty per connection, not worker).
