As buyer, how to make it work with vardiff pools??
Since you increased the Scrypt minimum difficulty to 128, all NiceHash do is eating my money without giving the service I'm willing to pay for. I always get the "Disconnected. Pool difficulty too low." error.

Why don't you give time to the pool to adjust the difficulty?

I would like to know as well since I had to cancel 4 of my orders.

We are sorry for you to have issues with those very low difficulty pools. Our system requires minimum scrypt pool difficulty to be set at 128 - so if pool is using vardiff it has to start with the minimum 128 and then rise it. Look, it is truly nonsense for today's pools to have such a low difficulty - anything below 1024 is literally killing any today's scrpyt miner. It is true that this is currently an issue with NiceHash since you can't know in advance if your pool will provide a difficulty high enough, that's why we are working on an order verification tool which will verify order before it will be submitted and check for proper pool difficulty and extranonce sizes - stay tuned, this tool will be available in our system in the near future. Until the tool is available I encourage you to contact pool operators and make sure they are using fixed diff >=128 or if using vardiff that they start with >=128 ... anything else is simply killing effectiveness of today's scrpyt miners, not only those connected to NiceHash but any miner that is connected to that kind of pool. Thanks for understanding!
