I have noticed on some occasions that the pool stratum difficulty doesn't match the miner.
It seems to only happen for certain algos and certain difficulties.

I'm seeing it right now on lyra2z. The pool is operating at diff 6.2 but he miner says it's 6.
This result in some low difficulty shares when the submitted share diff is between 6 and 6.2.
The rejected shares are mostly noise and don't affect performance.

I have not noticed the pool difficulty being lower than the miner but that would be a silent error
not easilly noticed. This would result in lost performance because the miner would discard shares
that would be accepted by the pool.

Changing stratum difficulty sometimes resolves the issue unless vardiff changes it back.

I had used sd=1 on the command line, stratum responded with 6 but the pool used 6.2.
I tried with sd=6.2 but stratum still responed with 6.

I tried sd=8 and it was accepted, both the stratum response and the pool said 8 as they should.
But vardiff stepped in and lowered the diff and they mismatched again.

Would like to investigate this issue more, if you could confirm above scenario was done on lyra2z? what miner did you use?
If possible reach me out in discord for more details. (e.g. wallet URL and time frame, so I can search in logs).

Sorry for coming with delay, not checking forum as frequently as other zergpool support channels

That's ll fine and good but the pool should be using the same difficulty it tells the miner to use.

You're setting sd=8 correctly, but a lower difficulty, sd=6 fails. That looks to me that is related to the limit the pool has on this number.

sd=
You may want to use it in case of more powerful hardware so your miners bypass low starting difficulty provided by pool with first connection.
Or you may want to use it in case of less modern hardware so your miners get low difficulty job to work on from the start.(minimum start diff can be 20x smaller than default).
Use sd= to set starting difficulty setting for you miner. It will get adjusted during your mining to most appropriate value based on your hardware power.

Notice that the minimum sd has to be 20x less than default. My guess is that sd=6 is lower than this, but 8 is fine.

I noticed this problem 6 months ago, but i thought this is normal. Pool did not response to the sd=* argument. So now i know it is not normal - i hope we get an information about that.

Note to cpuminer-opt users the syntax for secure stratum connections is stratum+tcps.
It's the same as stratum+ssl with other miners.

Edit: cpuminer-opt-3.19.8 now accepts stratum+ssl.

xmr-stak 2.10.8 is the most popular software for mining cryptonight_gpu. I DLed but I cannot get it to run.
Would someone please share an xmr-stak command line that works with ZergPool. TIA

Any plans to offer Autolykos (ERG), ProgPow (SERO) or Equihash (210,9) (AION) ?

BTW, I think allowing solo mining undermines the utility of your pool. Whether someone mines pooled or solo they will earn the same in the long run. But allowing solo means that ether in ZP is useless. Please eliminate solo mining.

Add ability to check transaction-hash in explorer!
Add ability to see block-hash by any block-number! There is limited number of blocks available.
Also, add addnodes-page for each coin, like here: https://murkapool.it/explorer

Thanks will consider these improvements for sure!

It has been several days with sufficient qty of GPBS for payout. Still no payout. Mined and all were blocks.

Went back to payout in 3+ hours. Beginning to get tired of this.

Got two pay-outs with most of the coins. Guess the rest may become a donation if they are not paid. Balance is now below minimum payout threshold.

Hello Pinpin. Today I saw something on your Zergpool that shocked me. I rented some hash to try and get some bitcoin stuck on your pool release by trying to hit the limit.
I first put it on SOLO for about an hour and gave up. I was mining scrypt. So the next 2 hours I put it on Shared mode.

Then I noticed something and this makes me want to move another pool.
At around 7:30 PM EST I noticed I had 20% of digibyte shares with a reward of 97.00 of them.
Then over the course of now 20 min It started going backwards. Hash rate was still 14 Gh/s yet the reward now is at 78.00 and the % is at 16.
I'm sorry but if hash rate is constant it should not be going backwards. As I'm writing this out it's dropped again now at 73 and 15%

As I end this post it dropped to 12% and reward of 65 digibyte. Ouch.

I'm moving my hash somewhere else for now.
