Title: Why not submit STALE shares?? [SOLVED] Post by: go4gonzo on May 27, 2013, 04:05:06 PM In cgminer you can have the option to NOT submit stale shares...is there any reason why you would submit stale shares? Does it affect mining or income?
I would like pros and cons please! Currently I have the argument to NOT submit stales, no reason really just because. However, I would like to know more. Thank you. Title: Re: Why not submit STALE shares?? Post by: go4gonzo on May 28, 2013, 03:07:07 PM A whole day and no one knows? ??? :-\
Where are the Seniors at!? Title: Re: Why not submit STALE shares?? Post by: tycho on May 28, 2013, 04:19:45 PM Some pools pay for stale shares (PPS pools, most commonly), so you'd want to submit them. I can see also not submitting them to keep your stats pristine, if you're OCD about that sort of thing.

Hence this forced people starting to use stratum, and to reduce the load on servers stale shares are no longer submitted. (If not paid for them, why submit?) Title: Re: Why not submit STALE shares??
