How Is the Difficulty of a Mining ‘Share’ Set by the Pool Operator?
The pool operator sets the share difficulty to ensure a steady stream of shares is submitted by all miners, regardless of their individual hash rate. The difficulty is usually adjusted dynamically based on the miner's hardware to prevent overwhelming the pool server with too many submissions.
The pool's internal difficulty is significantly lower than the network's difficulty, allowing miners to frequently prove their work.
