Do you want to understand how work difficulty affects how often your Bitaxe submits shares to a pool and why it varies between different pools?

Let’s break it down in this thread🧵

👾 Hash
Although a Bitaxe with 1TH/s generates 1 trillion hashes per second, not all hashes are submitted to the pool — this would be equivalent to a DoS attack, wasting bandwidth and resources of the stratum pool server.

🏋️ Work Difficulty
Therefore, an individual work diff is set for each worker, meaning that only shares with a diff higher than the work diff are submitted.
In the stratum protocol known as .

💡 To find a share with difficulty 1, your miner needs to generate around 2^32 = 4'294'967'296 = 4.29G hashes.

✉️ Shares
If a hash fulfills all necessary criteria and the nonce difficulty is higher than the work difficulty set by the pool, it is submitted to the pool as a share.

⏱️ ckpool: the work difficulty for a worker is adjusted so that on average 20 shares per minute are submitted — equivalent to 1 share every 3 seconds. This results in approximately 1'200 shares per hour.

⏱️ public-pool: the work difficulty for a worker is adjusted so that on average 6 shares per minute are submitted — equivalent to 1 share every 10 seconds. This results in approximately 360 shares per hour.

📡 This is ultimately about the communication between the miner and the pool — in other words, how often your miner submits shares to the pool per minute and how many data packets need to be sent/received/processed.

📈 5 to 20 shares per minute provide a reasonably meaningful hashrate to continuously verify that your miner is working correctly.

⛏️ Whether worker <1> submits 20 shares per minute, each with a nonce difficulty of at least 600, or worker <2> submits only 6 shares per minute, each with a nonce difficulty of at least 2'000, in the end, it amounts to the same thing.

⛏️ Both have performed the same amount of work (20×600 = 6×2000 = 12'000×1), the only difference being that one submits "many easy" shares while the other submits "fewer difficult" shares.
