 special prefix "stratum+tcp://" instead of "http://", BFGMiner will ONLY try to
 use stratum protocol mining.
 
+Q: Why don't the statistics add up: Accepted, Rejected, Stale, Hardware Errors,
+Diff1 Work, etc. when mining greater than 1 difficulty shares?
+A: As an example, if you look at 'Difficulty Accepted' in the RPC API, the number
+of difficulty shares accepted does not usually exactly equal the amount of work
+done to find them. If you are mining at 8 difficulty, then you would expect on
+average to find one 8 difficulty share, per 8 single difficulty shares found.
+However, the number is actually random and converges over time, it is an average,
+not an exact value, thus you may find more or less than the expected average.
