Is there the target share rate value for Slush's pool VarDiff publicly available?
From the FAQ: "...each miner is led to send results of its work to the server around 20 times per minute. That's the goal. If the miner is too fast, Vardiff increases the difficulty for its work and when too slow, the difficulty decreases." So, no share rate target - that depends on the speed of your miners - but a target for the number of connections to the server, preventing overloading and incidentally protecting your own bandwidth.
Thank you for the number.
It sure
is the share rate target.
Sending results of one's work is the same as sending
shares. :-)
Share rate would depend on the speed of my miners only if there were no VarDiff. The purpose of VarDiff is to set a reasonable share rate for each worker,
preventing overloading and incidentally protecting bandwidth, yes. :-)
Shares have different values for different target settings, but they're still shares...
