Is there any positive or negative impact on mining if I manually set the "suggest-diff" value higher than what the pool is currently feeding my miners?
I have some old dusty S7's that are running around 4.4k diff and the utility is 17. Was wondering if it hurts or helps anything setting diff to 10k or even higher. Last time I tried it the utility dropped to 5 but was getting much higher bestshare. Just wondering if tweaking that setting has any benefit.
No, you can't game anything at all. Think about it, if there was a way to improve your mining, everyone would be doing it. All you're doing is altering the feedback you get for your mining. It has no positive nor negative benefit.
Jesus, dude. The man wasn’t trying to “game” anything, he was just wondering what the effect would be to set a higher diff for his old miners.
We are all using your program, on a pool you made. What do you mean “think about it”? Not only that, but as a developer you surely know that everyone wouldn’t be doing something if you had not created it and put it out for the community. I appreciate the work you’ve done but if you’re going to do create things for people to use and then go on to engage in conversation with them, they deserve better replies (even if you’ve answered his question 100 times before)
