Hello! I am encountering a new situation here.
From what I’ve found, Hiveos use 1.25, 2.5 and 5g difficulty shares.
Now my miner reports that sometimes my rig will switch between 2.5 and 5g difficulty, is this behaviour normal?
To be exactly 5G it’s a start difficulty which set by pool on start.
After some shares sent by worker, pool calculates which difficylty will be best for worker and set calculated difficulty. And yes it’s can be 1.25G or 2.5G. For very strong worker it’s can be 5G or even higher than 5G (it’s really hashrate monster)
During mining there can be situation when worker, especially at the border of hashrates corresponding to difficulty, the pool can change the diff, for example from 1.25G to 2.5G and than to 1.25G again.
Since at a certain point in time more solutions can be sent to the pool and, accordingly, the accepted hashrate will be slightly higher than the real hashrate. The same works the other way around.
So it’s normal in general.
It’s not accurate and just my assumption and just for example
50-150 1.25G
150-250 2.5G
250-500 5G

So, With that in mind would it be better to split the miner and use a lower hash rate? I am at 600mh and when I start mining I am getting a projected .035 eth/day. Within 24hrs it shows <.025 eth/day. I have tried going to other pools but it seems consistent.
I somewhat have a feeling that a lower hashrate rig with easier shares is getting more ETH than higher difficulty shares.

You can nothing with it
New miners => Raising network => Raising difficulty => Lower income
Additionally: Lower activity on weekends => Lower transactions => Lower reward
Calculate on WhatToMine for your 600MH/s
Please note there are no words about pools - it’s general calculations
Thanks for your reply. I have used 3 different calculation site and you are correct. Just disapointing when you see one amount when starting and then it drops.
If you bought a cake and are going to eat it alone, then you will eat a whole cake, if you eat with your family, then you will get a piece of cake, but imagine that your whole city will eat it with you. This will probably be fun, but you only get the cake crumbs. So in mining)))

You seem well informed. I have a question on the MEV that the pools are using to make extra coin. Is hiveos using it and are they sharing that with the miners?
hiveos no
hiveon yes

Wow, I will find you for answers. I dont have Telegram on unless im in support so I didn’t see this announcement. Thanks again.
Based on your hashrate, Mining Pools set how hard it is to submit a share to them. The higher the hashrate, the higher the Share Difficulty. … Miners get credited based on the set Share Difficulty from the Mining Pool not the actual share difficulty.
hey halo. A bit ot, but how to determine differences between different pools, like valid shares , hashrate fluctuation…iv noticed that in one other pool my hashrate is more stable in stats than in hiveon pool…just few ttps what to pay attention when choosing a pool. Thanks…edit…or is there any difference other than fee and payout treshold…?
Who can tell me what is the most profitable trading strategy for shares. Reading a lot of articles, I see that you need to use long-term strategies when it comes to shares. Is that the only possible way to get a profit. I understand that shares do not change price significantly during the day. Does it mean that day trading is not good for this asset? I try to find a reliable web site to compare forex brokers.
is there a limit we can manually put? i.e. i dont want over 5g difficulty. hardly finds any at 10?
HaloGenius, these are some superstar replies over here. Explained so clearly, - thank you very much!
Yes, you can set minimal difficulty target. Lowest value is equal to initial difficulty (5000MH)
To setup custom difficulty you need to set in password field
d=<diff_in GH>
e.g. to set lowest difficulty as 10GH (10000MH) you need fill password field as d=10
here is result for my 1 psc test-rig with AMD RX 6800 XT GPU
Also you can you use any diff greater than 5 with decimals
e.g. d=6.5 to set difficulty as 6.5GH (6500MH)
Here is example for TeamRedMiner
in red square is password field where you can set custom difficulty
Please note that above information for Hiveon pool only

Thank you for your feedback
Thank you for great response, very enlighting info which i had no about.
But, my main question was about setting MAX not min value. Any ideas there?
In my opinion there is only way where you can set MIN = MAX
e.g. worker switching between 2500MH and 5000MH than if you set diff as 5000MH worker will stop switching. It’s a little bit simplistic but close to true.
Best way will be calculation of the optimal difficulty depending on the reported hashrate, taking into account miner’s devfee and without cheating of reported hashrate by miner itself (in other words hashrate that will be registrated on pool)
