Title: Question about mining pool workers.
Post by: JohnnyPierce on May 03, 2014, 11:32:39 PM
I'm signed up with a mining pool, but I have a question, my dilemma is this, I currently have over 1000 independent miners, the vast majority are cloud miners from a private infrastructure that I have access to, the others are local hardware here in my place.

My question is this, I created about 100 workers and divided the mining labor among all of them, but when I check my real time stats, most of the workers are not active, is there a reason for this?

Should I rather send all my mining load into the same worker instead?

Give me advice!

It depends on your pool. It's possible they may not be active because they're getting tons of rejected/stale shares, that they're simply not actually mining, or the pool requires shares to be confirmed/out of a round before they count your hash rate.

When I check a random inactive worker miners, they're all working fine, without errors.

But what would the advice be, to maximize my hashrate, converge all miners into 1 single worker or spread them among multiple workers?
