For some reason the difficulty has dropped below 63 now...
I sent my miner to the worker name to push it back up. How do I prevent it doing that again without sending my miner to it?
Why are you trying to keep difficulty higher than 63?
Edit: It still keeps dropping below 63. It had been working fine for days; has something changed?
"d=64" does nothing; still connects at 60.23529400.
Well nothing changed. I even didn't restart the pool.
d=64 is just hint for "starting" of difficulty level. It will start from 64 at connection but will adjusted by vardiff mechanism as time passes.
Decreased difficulty doesn't mean that your miner works less. Every pool has different target time, which makes difficulty level specific to that pool only.
For example, MiningPoolHub have set target time as 20 seconds for every miners. It means every miner should submit one shares every 20 seconds in average.
If I set longer target time like 60 seconds, you will get much higher difficulty.
Or if I set target time like 10 seconds, you will get lower difficulty and submit shares more often.
The reward is calculated by sum of share difficulty. So it's just same that when you submit 30 difficulty share twice or 60 difficulty share once.
Vardiff is doing its work to optimize the balance between mining power and share verification.
So, don't worry about difficulty level.
Nicehash has a minimum of 63. It would push the difficulty back up if it started mining but it drops below 63 before it ever gets chance; catch 22. It had been working perfectly fine before like every other algorithm. To stop this happening, you need to set your minimum difficulty on your Nicehash stratum to 63; or maybe stop decreasing the difficulty when idle.
The minimum currently on your pool seems to be '60.23529400'. Fixed orders are not working either; they are dropping to '60.23529400' even though they are at running at 500sols then they die.
I was getting 2 zec a day before it stopped working.
Edit: Think I have got 2 fixed orders on Nicehash going before the difficulty dropped. The rest of the idle orders are still dropping down in difficulty then die.
'd=10000' doesn't do anything.
Had a long run but a fixed order just dropped to '60.54927100' difficulty again and died:
