Best share is the highest difficulty share you have found.
The block difficulty is the minimum difficulty required for solving the block.
If your best share's difficulty is higher than the block difficulty, it means that you have found at least one block. Otherwise, all of your shares were not enough to solve a block.
In terms of your income, unless your pool rewards block finders more than others (which is very rarely the case), it does not matter to you at all.
Also, yes, 10 mil. will be "closer" to solving the block than 1 mil., but you either solve a block or you don't. So "closer" doesn't mean anything.
this makes less than 0 sense to me. Where can I find the displayed value of the block difficulty? Is it on cgminer somewhere? I see "Block: 734jadkdlelrjljladflasjkdflasjkfl... Diff: 13" while mining Netcoins. According to all of your guy's posts, and the way you've all explained it, I'm finding every single block ever invented. And I have never found a block, EVER, according to my pool.
I get "accepted blahblahblah diff 278/85" "accepted blahblahblah diff 2.12k/85" and I'm not finding shlt, apparently they're all found by asians with exponential hash rates.
I'm trying to wrap my head around this whole share concept, but there tons of amateur, contradictory info out there. I need to know where I can view the info to help me figure this out for myself, WHERE is the block difficutly displayed?
