Am I misunderstanding something about the diff adjustments, or is something strange going on? It's jumping from the 150s into the 260s while the network hash rate barely moves. Unless the pool display of network hash rate is off of course.

Edited to add: I understand KGW, but it shouldn't make diff jump around that much if the network hash rate goes from (e.g.) 4.3GH to 4.7GH. Should it?

Which pool are you mining on? When I was on smalltimeminer, it used to jump around like that. I think it is a configuration glitch with the MPOS web site... If you are GPU mining, you can see the net difficulty in the miner, and that seems to be more accurate. I think KGW might cause MPOS to spas every now and then

I'm on coinmine.pl at the moment. I'll check the CGMiner output next time it happens, though if it's an MPOS glitch it also extends to the displayed difficulty for solved blocks. Hmmmm.

Diff just jumped from 156 (block 21186) to 200 (block 21187) with no dramatic increase in network hash rate that I could see. Confirmed in CGMiner, so it doesn't seem to be an MPOS display issue. I understand that KGW doesn't cause linear diff increases, but should e.g. a 10% increase in network hash rate (which wasn't the case here) result in a ~33% diff increase?
