Re: [POOL][Scrypt][Scrypt-N] Profit switching pool

Hello pool waflfe..

mining for x11 now.

May i ask, is that setting -p d=256 for example set for pool difficulty or network difficulty? Because when my miner connects to your eu pool, it says connected to eu.wafflepool... difficulty 0.160 as user xxxxxxxxxxxx difficulty 193

Then when miner starts it says pool difficulty set to 0.160. network difficulty set to 193.
So my question is that setting sets pool or network difficulty?

Thanks

edit: it seems like it is for pool difficulty, so may i ask what am i doing wrong that my set difficulty is not recognized ?

sgminer.exe --kernel x11mod -u xxxx -p d=256 -o stratum+tcp://eu.wafflepool.com:3331 ...

Thanks for help

There isn't such a thing as network difficulty, at least not in a way that you can set. Network difficulty is set by the coin that is being mined (the difficulty to solve a block). Pool difficulty (miner difficulty really, since it is set per-miner), is what you're controlling (the difficulty to solve a share).

X11 is a very difficult POW algorithm than Scrypt/Scrypt-N, and thus uses a very different difficulty base. Difficulty 256 (d=256) makes sense on Scrypt/N, but on X11, base difficulty is 0.16. If you check the startup guide on the newalgos page (where you hit "Enable", you can see that difficulty is allowed to be from 0.008, to 2.048. You need to change the d=XXX value

from http://wafflepool.com/newalgos help:
Password: Any. "d=XXX" accepted to set difficulty (0.008 up to 2.048, powers of 2 only).

I also tried to set difficulty but it still at 0.160

It changes on the first block change (normally around 30 seconds). You should see it change after a bit, assuming you have a valid value.
