hello,
i put my old usb antminer u2 to the pool, just for fun and to play the game. sometimes i get accepted shares and the pool diff change to 2, but the most time the pool diff stay at 1.02k and i have to wait a very log time before the diff goes down and i get accepted shares and sometimes more than 2 hours nothing happens. i see my worker at the stats, but there is no hashrate when the diff ist at 1.02k. is it poosible to set the diff directly to the diff 2 ?
i start the miner with this parameters: cgminer.exe --anu-freq 250 -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u (my valid bitcoin address) -p x
nice regards,
zapphood
Shares are totally meaningless for solo mining apart from providing you feedback that you're mining since they have no worth whatsoever. However if you really care about the diff and want that feedback immediately, you can use the latest cgminer release or build from the current cgminer git master and use the --suggest-diff feature which only ckpool and cgminer support.
many thanks for the information, i use the last windows cgminer version 4.7.0 from your server and put now the option --suggest-diff to my start.bat
cgminer.exe --anu-freq 250 -o stratum+tcp://solo.ckpool.org:3333 -u (my valid bitcoin address) -p x --suggest-diff 2
and now the miner starts with diff 682, what do i have to do that the miner starts with diff 2?

--suggest-diff
Suggest miner difficulty for pool to user (default: none)
