    Just a quick question, as the title states, how does one decide on which difficulty to use? I mine on a pool with options for 1, 8, and 32.

    Thanks!

    Practical approach: Try out all and watch how it affects your WU value.

    On an R9 290X
    1: 0/m
    8: ~200/m
    32: ~700/m and slowly climbing

    That being said, the reported hashrate on the pool dashboard has plummeted.

    Let it run for 10min or more each time to get reliable readings.
