Got it. Thanks.

To clarify, here is the recent snapshot from the pool:

=====================================
solo.ckpool.org/users/bc1bla-bla-bla

}
]
}

====================================

Here is the info from the miner admin screen:

Model:   LV07
Uptime:   3 days
WiFi Status:   Connected!
Free Heap Memory:   8420560
Version:   1.2.0

Hash Rate
1.13 TH/s

Shares
65,400

Efficiency
19.56 J/TH

Best Difficulty
246M all-time best

============================

I am confused, and trying to reconcile different numbers. Here is what I mean.

1. My miner says it submitted 65,400 shares in roughly 3 days. Sounds about right - corresponds to around 15 shares/min. But the pool says: 281621832 shares. What?

2. Watching log file: minimum difficulty was 971, and I've seen actual difficulty around 1500 - 2000 - 3000. However, both the miner and the pool refer to 246M as all time best (the miner) and 245888437 (the pool). For comparison, recent block 887080 has difficulty of 112,149,504,190,349, or roughly 112T.

As an exercise, I did calculate minimum hash value for bits 0x17028281, checked a few blocks, and verified that their hash value was less than the minimum set by the bits, while the spread for about 10 blocks I checked was within that range and was clearly somewhat random. I also divided 00FFFF... value (for difficulty 1) by the actual hash for a couple of blocks, and got the same difficulty number (around 112T) as specified for each block. So, aside from inconsistencies above, I am getting a decent handle on basic understanding.
