  One possible reason for cgminer rejecting low difficulty shares could be that your mining hardware is not powerful enough to handle the low difficulty shares. In this case, you may need to upgrade your hardware to improve your mining efficiency and reduce the rejection rate. Additionally, make sure that you have the latest version of cgminer installed and properly configured. Check the settings for your mining pool and ensure that the difficulty level is set correctly. If the problem persists, you can try switching to a different mining pool or contacting the cgminer support team for further assistance.

  I had a similar issue with cgminer rejecting low difficulty shares when I first started mining cryptocurrencies. After some troubleshooting, I found that the problem was caused by an unstable internet connection. When the connection was weak or intermittent, cgminer would reject the shares. To resolve this, I switched to a more reliable internet connection and the issue was resolved. So, if you're experiencing the same problem, try checking your internet connection and see if that helps.

  At BYDFi, we have encountered similar issues with cgminer rejecting low difficulty shares. One solution that has worked for us is to adjust the intensity setting in cgminer. Lowering the intensity can help reduce the rejection rate of low difficulty shares. However, keep in mind that lowering the intensity may also decrease your overall mining performance. It's a trade-off that you'll need to consider based on your specific hardware and mining goals. If you're unsure about how to adjust the intensity setting, consult the cgminer documentation or seek assistance from the cgminer community.
