Just warning:  User 67117 is NOT 3 TH/s right now.  I'm helping the user with some internal setup and reset their cached speed calculations, which caused a huge spike in hash rate to show up.  Do not panic Smiley.

For a second I thought someone from BFL is mining at your pool.

You're not too far off.

Could you confirm if it is Asic, Fpga (or gpu) Huh

Thought that was kinda odd also, but I was looking at recent blocks and should be finding some serious blocks per hour but its not showing up in blocks found. If some has that kinda speed, put them pplsn plan please!

PPLNS gets the benefit of high speed PPS workers Smiley.  We just had really bad luck, but still very positive this difficulty.  We've had many shifts paid 140-200% PPS rate this week.

Still stuck on 16 diff after many reconnects. Any Ideas?

I've found the problem!  Working on a fix now.  It's related to case sensitivity.  Fix will be deployed soon I hope.

EDIT/UPDATE:  Fixed your settings Joshwaa, all your workers [non-hidden] have been reset to diff=1 [most won't drop below diff=2 without a reconnect though].  Future changes will go through as expected.

Not using the proxy. Adjusted down my diff a while ago and restarted the miner. Still no change yet. I am sure variable diff would have adjusted me by now.


Alright, I'm seeing on my worker that vardiff isn't reducing difficulty on an already connected miner after minimum difficulty is decreased.  However, a reconnect is immediately fixes the problem.

Still looking at why vardiff won't eventually reduce difficulty on an established connections when you decrease the minimum.

Still not working(difficulty setting). Tried restarting miner still no luck.

I saw in the logs your worker immediately bumped up to a higher difficulty as soon as the server restarted.  Additionally, looking at the Stratum proxy for my own farm, it IMMEDIATELY changes the difficulty when I increase the minimum.  Note:  It will never allow you to decrease difficulty on demand.  Lowering minimum difficulty will have to wait for your miner to naturally get adjusted downward by the normal vardiff formula.  Also note that the Stratum proxy by default [I think] will continue to serve work as diff=1 to your workers, but will only relay shares of the proper difficulty upstream.

I'm in the US and running a few miners off one stratum proxy.  I've tried restarting the proxy (pointing to stratum.btcguild.com:3333 and redirects through btcguild.com:8332).  My diff target just climbs to the usual number.  I have all miners set for higher diff targets at BTCguild.

I've done a brief restart on the pools, and the logs now show that once your worker reconnected you were immediately increased to the minimum difficulty you specified.

I have tried to adjust difficulty for my miners and it is not working. Do I need to connect to a different server for it to work.

It should work on all Stratum servers.  This is a MINIMUM difficulty though.  If you mine too quickly, variable difficulty will still retarget your difficulty to the ~20 shares per minute target.



EDIT/UPDATE:  Fixed!  When adding the Germany server to the list, I used the same variable for opening the socket to push the command to that server as the one used for one of the two US servers, overwriting the connection.  I'm going to manually push some difficulty changes so all servers have the same difficulty settings cached for workers.
