difficulty 65536 = causes problems at "Current Mining"-tacho

Hey Steve,

as I changed difficulty from 32768 to 65536 the "Current Mining" tachometer does not show my current hash rate, but last shares are displayed probably as i can see.

Can you please have closer look at it? Thank you.

King regards

I resolved this issue. It turns out that, when a miner has such a high difficulty, its shares can overflow the database and cause an error, which causes hashrates to not be inserted.

Mining itself, and payouts, are not affected, so I'll hold this change until the end of the day so that I don't have to disrupt miners again - but you can expect the chart to start working by the end of the day. Thanks for the report!

What are they showing you? Is it higher than what we are reporting in our own statistics?

no i guess not, well sometimes I have an average of 100+ mh/s over a duration of 1 hour (using d=65536) which is a difference comparing to other pools i used to hash at with same difficulty. I cannot explain thats just my feeling telling me though... The better average hash rate makes me get renter more often as it was in the past with clever mining for instance
