Title: Pools locations and servers matter? Post by: CashbackLover on March 01, 2021, 11:19:08 AM I'm using europe location on nicehash which is the nearest to my location but getting bad performance but changing to Japan server solves all the issue, stability is better now but what I'm confused about is Japan is more far away so but instead it fixed my issue

I hardly get any at all and I almost don't know what it was when I started mining, all eye focused on accepted shares and rejected shares lol anyways, OP you can only judge when you mine for 24 hrs and what you get is exactly what you should base on your calculator
