Share Difficulty

dormdweller 7 years ago updated by Oliver 7 years ago 1

In the connection settings, there are 3 ports to determine the difficulty of shares.  Obviously if you choose a higher difficulty, you will submit less shares than an easier difficulty level.  When shares are submitted to the pool, is the difficulty level of the share taken into consideration as to the payout for that share (i.e., what would be the reason for choosing a higher difficulty if the share difficulty wasn't taken into consideration)?  Thanks again for another question but I assume others might be wondering the same thing.

Yes of course. Otherwise it would make no sense whatsoever to chose a higher difficulty. A share submitted at difficulty 10000 weights twice as much as a difficulty 5000 share when payouts are calculated.
