Thanks. I just bumped my share difficulty to 4 from 2 and found 5 invalid shares per hour. Now I decreases it again to 2.

I wouldn't think so, but I am not 100%.

Thanks.

Slower to submit shares can be translated to higher possibility to submit invalid shares. Is that correct?

AFAIK Less shares will be submitted the higher the difficulty, but the price per share is higher. Think it works out roughly the same but saves on bandwidth. If I am wrong I am sure someone will correct me though.

Hi all,

I am new to BTC mining. I see some pools that say they support VarDiff (50BTC, BitMiner ...) or list VarDiff as an important feature of their pools. However, I don't understand this concept as well as mathematical background of it.

As a newbie, how can I determine what user-defined difficulty is to suit my hardware capacity.

50BTC says that if I can process less than 1000MHs I should set user-defined diff to 2. However, they say nothing about what happens if I lower it down or raise it up in in term of my hashrate, share per minutes/days or network loads, energy consumption or the similar ...

Can anyone kindly explain it?

Thanks
