I use 3 pcs for cpu mining and one has a gpu mining too. I net about 370 hash rate. When I used UK mining pool for several days, which pays a set amount for each share as you go, I earned 50 BCN every 24-26 hours. When I use Party pool, that pays for your shares of the blocks after they're found, I average 50 BCN every 15-17 hours. I was using the ddns pool and earned 100 a day because we unlocked a block in 6 days with only 5 miners. They since disappeared, but it has been interesting to see different earnings based on the same hash rate with different pool variables.
I have been setting a max difficulty on my mining PCs and have been getting a more consistent hash rate. I have no problem with other pools, like UK, when setting a rate using ccminer for my gpu. On party pool I can limit xmrig difficulty with no problems, but gpu mining with them always ends up overriding it and jumping me to super high difficulties that lower my hashrate and at times cause too much of a lag between shares. My gpu only gets me like 160 h/r so difficulty going that high doesn’t seem right. Does anyone have any thoughts. I can’t find a way to reach out to them on their site, so I’m asking here.
*Edit
The difficulty setting is working like others now, so I switched
If you do the process of backing up the wallet correctly, does that mean you end up with two files the wallet and the key?
Do you only need to do this process 1 time?
Which location, web/app or desktop, do you feel most comfortable with having your coins in when bcn does their wallet update?
