Can some one please explain the benefit to setting your miners to more or less difficulty in a pool?
Simply check your miner speed, then configure your difficulty accordin to your miner speed. Too fast miners have problems if difficulty is too low. For example Avalons were constantly crashing on diff 1.
What should I set difficulty @ slush for Avalon running 108 Gh/s ? Now it´s 1 and it crashes time to time. Fast internet cable.
EDIT: Found settings... trying with 64
General rule of thumb I always recommend on manual difficulty selection: Round your GH/s down to the closest power of 2. So 1-2 GH/s = 1. 2-4 = 2, 4-8 = 4, 8-16 = 8, etc. In this case, 108 GH/s would be rounded down to 64, as you've attempted
. Using this method, you'll end up between 15 and 30 shares per minute, depending on how close you were to the power of 2, which also happens to be roughly what most pools use for vardiff.
