Also worth trying to tune your other GPU settings, this will increase your hashrate, and hopefully reduce your rejected share rate.

<p>I got an issue with cgminer constantly rejecting shares. How can I fix it?</p>

<p>Here's example rejection (note that Diff jumps - sometimes it's 6/1 sometimes it's 1/1) :</p>

<pre><code>[2013-04-09 14:24:05] Rejected fe26cac1 Diff 4/1 GPU 0 (lowdifficulty)
</code></pre>

<p>Here's the .bat file I use:</p>

<pre><code>cgminer --scrypt -o eu-stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u MyUser -p 123
</code></pre>

<p>My OS is Win 7 32 bit.</p>

What is your share difficulty set to in the btcguild settings?

I just tried 8-16 and 16-32 - both fail with the same result. What's weird is that I have cgminer setup on another PC with much better GPU and it works flawlessly there with difficulty set to 8-16.

To closevoters:  this question is on topic as per the current FAQ.  If we want it to be off-topic we should clarify the wording there.

# cgminer Rejected as lowdifficulty

(Asked by: username_0 on 2013-04-09)

I got an issue with cgminer constantly rejecting shares. How can I fix it?

Here's example rejection (note that Diff jumps - sometimes it's 6/1 sometimes it's 1/1) :

```
[2013-04-09 14:24:05] Rejected fe26cac1 Diff 4/1 GPU 0 (lowdifficulty)

```

Here's the .bat file I use:

```
cgminer --scrypt -o eu-stratum.btcguild.com:3333 -u MyUser -p 123

```

My OS is Win 7 32 bit.

I had this issue also the fix for me was adding`--scrypt -o` to the beginning so it look like this :

`--scrypt -o stratum+tcp://stratum.scryptguild.com:3333 -u iwantcoins_nick -p nopw --load-balance`
