Title: What amount of Stale Shares do you get?
Post by: davemanet on October 19, 2017, 07:51:52 PM
Hi All,

I've been using Claymore 9.6 for a few months now, and didn't want to update it because I didn't want to deal with potential bugs.

Anyway, I just learned of Stales Shares and how older miners might cause more.  I notice I'm getting about 5% Stale Shares now.

How much are you getting?  What miner and version are you using?

Me: Claymore 9.6, 5% stale shares

My advice is, update to Claymore 10.0 as keeping up to date is always the best method to get the most out of your rig. There are no potential bugs with the latest Claymore miner and you'll surely witness some improvement and stability!

Block time reduced so stale shares increased on Ethermine.  Maybe they can fix it but who knows.

I switched from ethermine to nanopool, because nanopool doesn't show stale shares, hahaha... ;D

I emailed them today about stale shares (is there a way to see them?/are we paid for them?), let's see what will they answer!

literally 0.01%, very very rare for me to produce a stale block. Why do you get as high as 5%?

I don't get many, maybe 1-2%. A lot comes down to your connection speed.
