Hy guys,
may be a stupid noob question about minin ethereum, but i was wondering why, according to Etherscan.io the average difficulty to solve a block at time of writing is 2,445.94 TH.
But if I take a look to mine rig, that's connected to Ethermine ppol, the difficulty is capped at 4.000MH and gets stuck at that level.

Thanks
This is how pool mining works. You submit a share which is a much lower difficulty than the actual difficulty to find a block.
They do this to prove that you are actually mining and to find out how much to pay you when the pool actually finds a block.
If you were solo-mining then your difficulty would equal the actual ETH difficulty but would take a very long time to find a block, hence its only for large mining farms.
Ah, wow. got it, thanks!
