I wonder about the difficulty. Logically, more difficult Shares are worth more but harder to find with low powered mining equipment > [@Zcash Flypool Difficulty](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zcash-flypool-difficulty/14147): > > Trying to understand the difficulty settings a little more. I know the default, is 2000 mining on flypool using Claymore. Using R9 Fury’s From what I have read, and seen, the higher the difficulty is set the better the chance of return? So instead of running at default 2k I now have it set for 9k and after 12 hours of running it seems that I have increased my ZEC by 2 to 2.5 per month. Is there a better explanation concerning difficulty settings and its benefits? > [@ZCash Claymore changing difficulty](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/zcash-claymore-changing-difficulty/15112): > > Hi I use ZChash Claymore. I’d like to ask if there is anyway I could change the difficulty of mining? My bandwith does’nt keep up with all the data traffic when I download sth in the backgroung. [https://support.bitfly.at/support/solutions/articles/8000053679-changing-difficulty-](https://support.bitfly.at/support/solutions/articles/8000053679-changing-difficulty-) Nanopool share difficulty is static equal to 25600. So I guess potentially you could turn up the juice on flypool but they’ve got too heavy a hand anyways (even with the benefit of the doubt) Edit- yea, higher payouts in shorter increments :] --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/flypool-bitfly-miner-centralization/28194)._
