So if you have 4 machines running 100gh, then wheater your multiplying or dividing it's done per 100 / machine and not the combined total off 400 ?

If fthat's the ase, then one would need a worker for each of the 4 machines.

General advice, set your minimum difficulty to your hashrate in GH/s divided by 1.4. Some info on difficulty and work submits per minute:

Someone else might advice you to multiply by 1.4 or divide by 1.8 or whatever. There is no magic difficulty that you have to use. And contrary to popular belief there is no "sweet spot" difficulty that makes your mining most profitable. Worker difficulty is a trade-off between variance and bandwidth usage (and server load for Bitminter). Follow the link above and read that, especially Organofcorti's analysis, and you'll learn how it works.

Doc, have you considered adding pps?

No time right now. Just trying to keep things running smooth at the moment.

Def a good read, but that only helps with part of the thought.

Lets for sake of argument say I'm diving by 1.4.

If I have 100gh x 4 whicch gives 400gh and I divide by 1.4 that gives 286 if we round up. However, if we divide by the singular (100gh) we get 71 if we round down.

So the question is, regardless of if we divide, multiply but either 1.4 or 1.8 or w/e. Is it done as a whole or by the power of a single unit. Since in some cases it might be 400gh with 100 x 2 and 200 x 1.

I wana say it's a per unit basis which means diff workers.

Ex.

100gh x 4: One worker at 71 since theyre all the same

Ex. 2
100gh x 2: One worker at 71 since theyre all the same
200gh x 1: One worker at 143.

See where I'm going with this ?

I ask because, using the 100gh x 4, if we set one worker to 286, thats what each unit would try to run which seems to high where as using a diff of 71. That would seem more appropriat for a machine doing 100gh.
