I have a question about the stratum difficulty. I have two Antminer S3s, and I'm using the GHash.IO mining pool. Their FAQ says:
So based on that, the setting would be 256 for each miner. Does anyone actually alter this setting in their mining pool? Or do you just keep the default setting?
thank you.
I don't think it's for each miner (unless you have them as different workers). If they're set as one worker, then set it to 512 (or 1TH if you can get it stable over 1000 GH/s). If they're separate workers then yea, 256 should be fine.Quote
The optimal settings of the stratum difficulty depends on your hash-rate:
16+ GH/s - 16 difficulty
32+ Gh/s - 32 difficulty
64+ GH/s - 64 difficulty
128+ GH/s - 128 difficulty
256+ GH/s - 256 difficulty
512+ GH/s - 512 difficulty
1 TH/s - 1024 difficulty
16+ GH/s - 16 difficulty
32+ Gh/s - 32 difficulty
64+ GH/s - 64 difficulty
128+ GH/s - 128 difficulty
256+ GH/s - 256 difficulty
512+ GH/s - 512 difficulty
1 TH/s - 1024 difficulty
So based on that, the setting would be 256 for each miner. Does anyone actually alter this setting in their mining pool? Or do you just keep the default setting?
thank you.
They are set up with different worker IDs. I thought that was required. I didn't know I could have two miners in the same pool with the same worker ID. Does that work? Is there an advantage to doing that?
No... It's hard to see/track your individual S3's performance...
I'm using separate workers for each of mine S3's ...256 diff...
