You're only as lucky as your last block 
All this is to say, if your over the difficulty target set required for the proofs submitted, it doesn't matter if you're just over it or way way over it to the point where you were just one bit flip away from solving an actual block - it's all one share :)
The last part of what I wrote was confusing.
Say the S21 working at default difficulty is finding millions of times more shares than the bitaxe, the pool then adjusts making the difficulty orders of magnitude higher. Shares will then start coming in far slower and each one will be multiplied by the same factor that the difficulty was increased.
This is why all shares in pool stats are equal.
I understand, shares are a metric of how close the miner got to "guessing" the correct answer.
If you're going to solo mine, I don't believe the pool you choose makes any difference. You are simply obtaining mining credentials from the pool.
When I get my Bitaxe delivered, I am going to mine to nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze
as I like their ethos.

When I mined with my S19 (until May this year), I switched between F2Pool and BTC.com and they were both a similar payout.
Shares aren't that. They're just proof that you did some work, that is just solving a block at an arbitrary difficulty.
You aren't given more shares for getting "closer" to the correct answer, but if you're given a higher difficulty target (appropriate for more powerful machines) then your shares will be worth more than other shares. BUT pools will always normalize this on the website/stats so you don't have to do any adjustment.
So you're kind of right but that's only of concern to the pool back end.
In reality a bitaxe share and a S21 Pro share are going to be worth the same, it's just that the S21 will be finding them way faster, be given a higher difficulty target by the pool, then return fewer shares that are worth more than previously. So if you double the difficulty you send to a worker, each share it submits will be worth two shares.
Nothing is 100% reliable on Lightning. We will have attempted it already - if you didn't receive it shoot a DM.
3 is your issue. Private channels don't work in practice, though in theory they're supposed to.
Ocean payouts on Lightning have information made public (so that everyone can varify payouts) making private channels not private anyway.
Also I'll add - if Lightning just keeps not working, if you get to the on-chain threshold you'll just be paid out that way.
bumping my question about lightning payment now that nostr:nprofile1qqsq9k04vahllseell55m74n3047y88pzlr0z5yany32st29fapqmgspz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsz8thwden5te0dehhxarj9e3xjarrda5kuetj9eek7cmfv9kz7qg4waehxw309aex2mrp0yhxummnw3ezucn89u93ntq6 seems to be active on #NOSTR 😉
We're on it - Nostr client issues lol.
Sounds like you set up Lightning correctly wrt generating a valid BOLT12 and signed it with a valid sig.
Great.
Now here's a checklist to follow if payments still aren't working:
1. Am I using Core Lightning?
2. Do I have a channel with sufficient inbound liquidity?
3. Is it public?
4. Payments still failing? Connect to our node with this command `lightning-cli connect 029ef2ce43571727104099576c633b2233bfeb8dc18b476f93540a32207da9e9a4@16.63.81.71:9735`
You need an on chain address because we need a way to pay you if Lightning doesn't work for some reason. There are no accounts, things have to work a little differently.
I was using Iris for months and never saw most of the DMs here.
Sorry for the extremely slow response to DMs on here. Wasn't using the right client apparently, switched to Amethyst and seeing a lot of messages from Dec/Jan.
We're listening!
Ocean has no idea I'd the on chain address is from your Lightning node's wallet or any other.
All that matters is the signature is correct.
What's the issue? Happy to help
There's a better way!
Terahash for terahash, OCEAN is the best pool for miners.

Starting on Saturday, we'll be doing integration testing of the new nostr:nprofile1qqsrk63a8wentzpk5ex3eqpf9wtww6vwcddzuh9y2800567n4ulwhpqeqe544 Accelerator on the "OCEAN Recommended" template. Our efforts here will be consistent with our existing work towards maximum transparency and will help ensure decentralized mining has access to the same fee markets as centralized pools.
More info in the coming weeks.
Interesting... nostr:npub1qtvl2em0llpnnllffhat8zltugwwz97x79gfmxfz4qk52n6zpk3qq87dze paid me on-chain instead of over Lightning. I did not meet the on-chain threshold yet. Unless that threshold was changed and lowered?
Hey - this implies that you stopped mining quite some time ago and got included in our latest sweep of inactive addresses.
Bitcoin Country, here we come! 🌴
We are thrilled to announce that OCEAN has expanded into El Salvador 🇸🇻. OCEAN MINING S.A. de C.V. will serve as our global hub of business development as we continue to bring features to market that push the envelope of decentralization in #Bitcoin mining.
Thank you Nayib Bukele, Bitcoin Office SV, and Stacy Herbert for creating the blueprint for Bitcoin adoption and for welcoming us into your country.
