There is some useful advice on how to choose a difficulty here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/suggestion-for-how-to-choose-a-pool-difficulty-for-miners-274023

It helps to know the default settings for all the worker settings. How am i suppose to adjust them effectively without knowing what the default is? I only have 10erupters running and would like to maximize their potential.

The defaults are:

Minimum difficulty: 1
Work submits per minute: 20
Merged mining flushing of stale work: on
Stratum extranonce2: 6 bytes (may change to 4 in the future, if you run a subpool and need a certain number of bytes, set it explicitly)

Thanks DrHaribo for implementing minimum difficulty. It helps a lot with the buggy stratum proxy.

As requested "minimum difficulty" has been added to the worker settings.

This is most useful when you start up mining so the difficulty doesn't have to travel up from 1, so it is recommended for the really fast miners. It can also be nice if you want to force a high difficulty, or you don't like the difficulty moving up and down (although that doesn't really do any harm).

iv added some more block erupters but when i start the client all i keep getting is selftest error's, can anyone shed any light on this? iv check all drivers and all my ports and everything seem fine in both.

The fact that you added BEs makes me think of underpowered hub too.

I've once had the problem, that my USB hub didn't have enough power output to support the 500mW of Power needed for each Erupter. That caused selftest error's for me. So I propose you check your USB hub first.

many reasons why.

most reasons are poor quality hubs... so what hubs do you have.

other reasons are raspberry pi only likes certain hubs..

more reasons too many hubs on a slow set up. I run 96 sticks on 1 pc but everything is high quality.

if you send a pm or reply here with details on your setup i can help

Hey Doc, can you explain the Pro Minter perk please? I had most of the other perks activated but have never noticed this option before. Which of the other perks on the list does it include? For example, even after selecting Pro Minter, I still needed to activate the Team setting. I also turned off the API option thinking that it would be included in Pro Minter but that doesn't appear to be the case. Does it include Immediate Pay, etc.

Thanks in advance.

Pro minter makes all other perks free.

So if you donate 2% and activate pro minter, you can activate everything else without donating more. But you still have to turn on the perks you want turned on.

Perfect, thanks again!

I'm not certain what settings I should be using with my stratum proxy.

Quick mining service restart to upgrade to a new version that better handles two bugs in Stratum Mining Proxy.

If you had problems using the stratum proxy, try it again now.

Your hashrate won't really matter except for how fast you generate coins.

They'll make ROI at the correct BTC price. They just won't making anything more than that, haha.

Well ... with luck in choosing when to buy them (low $ to BTC) and luck selling the BTC (high $ to BTC) you could say it is possible to make a profit ... extremely unlikely, but some small tiny % of those who bought them could do that, however any such profit is guaranteed to be less than if you simply bought BTC ... since you had to hand the BTC over to AM up front only to get less total BTC back (if you mined PPS or similar)

I'm still yet to understand how people see a positive in that ... most likely it's their way of dealing with making a bad choice or being ripped off ... denial
