Title: 1.6% rejected shares, acceptable?
Post by: Awalt541 on June 21, 2012, 11:26:21 PM
Hello, I have 2 6850's mining at ~248 mh/s each.
I was curious if <2% stale/invalid shares is an acceptable number to have, if not how would I lower it.
I am using cgminer if it makes a difference.
Thanks,
Andrew

It mainly depends on your latency to the pool you are using.

You can lower it by using a pool with a lower ping/latency (IE a pool closer to your physical location)

If you're in Europe and mining on a US pool server, for example, you would have more stales than if you mined on a European pool server.

1.6% is a little bit high but still not that bad. I get about 0.7%. Anything less than 1% is acceptable for me personally.

I ended up changing my intensity (from 6) to dynamic and its well below 1%

I get around 1.2% on BFL Single and Deepbit.

With a good miner program and pool you should easily stay below 1% stale.
