Title: Stale shares on pool equal to pool's difficulty setting Post by: or.karlinsky on January 24, 2014, 01:41:07 PM Hi everyone,
I have a 200GHs AntMiner (overclocked from 180GHs) and I mine at GHash.IO. At first the graph showed me a lot of Low Difficulty shares so I changed the difficulty to 200. After that I started seeing Stale Shares in the graph, either 200 or 600 per hour (not all hours, some had 0). I then lowered it to 190 and the stale shares lowered to 190/380 (again, not all of them, some hours had 0). I lowered again to 185 and then the stale shares were 185/370 per hour (some hours were 0). As you can see the stale shares are multiples of the difficulty setting. Why is this happening? Is it normal? Is there something I can do? What difficulty do you recommend me to set? Thanks in advance!

staled share only append when new block is created by bitcoin network (only 1 or never every block create for me on a 12GH/s). note : i have a 10-11 difficulty for my 12GH/s ... on slush pool. you have a problem with your 180GH/s and 380 difficulty :o Title: Re: Stale shares on pool equal to pool's difficulty setting Post by: -ck on January 24, 2014, 02:57:15 PM Normal. It rejects as many effective shares as it would have accepted had the shares been acceptable, which is based on diff.
