Title: VPN on mining pool Post by: Ken_terrance on February 11, 2021, 05:59:19 AM This question I'm about to ask may sound annoying to the ear, if that's the case pls pardon me, is it possible to use VPN on mining pool just to get better speed and less rejected shares? The pool I'm using supports for example USA so if I use VPN and my location change to USA will this increase performance?

Title: Re: VPN on mining pool Post by: Mighty_crypt on February 11, 2021, 08:10:04 AM You don't understand how mining works, the higher the latency the lower the chances of getting shares accepted, don't use VPN just change location on the pool and try them out one by one, I find out that US server works better for me that Europe servers

im not sure if the project is still being developed but searching for "stratum proxy" should come up with a few sources Title: Re: VPN on mining pool Post by: fmz89 on February 12, 2021, 08:36:31 AM This question I'm about to ask may sound annoying to the ear, if that's the case pls pardon me, is it possible to use VPN on mining pool just to get better speed and less rejected shares? The pool I'm using supports for example USA so if I use VPN and my location change to USA will this increase performance? dont use vpn for mining and hoping better shares, try join on pool with biggest percentage of network & closest server, eu pool are good on etherminebut i still chose the closest one, you wont see big diffence as stil same pool even different server, the crowded more shares are given |
