Title: How do I ping a pool? Trying to find the best Monero XMR pools for my area! Post by: d4yst4r on April 22, 2018, 12:32:32 AM Can anyone help me ping nanopool monero? My mining rewards are lower than calculated on whattomine.com and I may need to switch based on my location.
Or... if anyone knows a pool that is closer to me for mining monero, I am located in the tri-state area of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana. If you are in my area and have a suggested pool, fire away! Thanks bitcointalk forum members! Title: Re: How do I ping a pool? Trying to find the best Monero XMR pools for my area! Post by: insider00 on April 22, 2018, 12:53:57 AM open cmd

Code: ping xmr-us-east1.nanopool.org Anything <100ms response is good. Title: Re: How do I ping a pool? Trying to find the best Monero XMR pools for my area!

Worked like a charm. Thank you. Average was 74 ms, min 55 ms but max was at 122ms. Should I be looking for a different pool in your opinion? Title: Re: How do I ping a pool?

Should I be looking for a different pool in your opinion? 122 ms is abit on the edge of max i think. This also depends on where you live and how well ur standard in the country you are in are. For me, anything over 50ms is very bad and i always try to find a better located pool. Title: Re: How do I ping a pool? Trying to find the best Monero XMR pools for my area!

(four can't even define the average)Average was 74 ms, min 55 ms but max was at 122ms. Should I be looking for a different pool in your opinion? If yes, try to increase the number of ping request to 100 or 1000 and increase the buffer size from default 32 to 128bytes: Code: ping xmr-us-east1.nanopool.org -n 100 -l 128 |
