Hello. I would like to ask, If I buy antminer, Should I mine after 2 or 3 years or it will be unacceptable?
More than likely the difficulty of the network at that point will be so high it's unprofitable, so best case would be to buy one, mine for a few months, then either sell it and upgrade or sell it and stop mining.

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:

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
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.
