Hey, I get that shares don’t mean much when you’re solo mining, but I’m curious about what it really means.
Should I even be concerned about this? What’s the deal with the best share?
If it helps, we can look at my mining rigs as an example here.
So, what’s the whole thing about the best share and what’s up with the numbers that come after it? My latest best share is 43859517958.53396. What does that signify and what about those digits after the decimal? Appreciate any insights!
It's not a feature that only ckpool has, it has to do with general mining, why would you reply something that useless LOL. Will be better if you don't reply at all, since you don't want to help with the post.
The reason is because -ck would most likely pick up on your question and answer it. Considering most pools are using the software that he and Kano wrote or custom software based on it, that would have been the best place to ask.
You want the details, here you go: From Kano's pool help page
The bold line is your Share Difficulty. In short, Best Share is the highest difficulty share you have submitted so far. In your case the best is 43,859,517,958.53396 or roughly 44G
FYI, even when solo mining to your own node vs a pool, Shares do have meaning as the node will be constantly sending new work aka shares, to the miner.
