Nanopool uses a fixed 10000MH difficulty, which means it's 60% higher than what Ethemine uses.

okay, it became 10000MH since 6 of January 2018 according to their twitter, I used to mine when it was 5000MH

You get more shares with Ethermine because they use a lower share difficulty. Lower difficulty =  more shares worth less each e.g. 100 shares at diff 4000MH are worth exactly the same percentage of a block as 40 shares at diff 10000MH. Using lower share difficulty for higher hash rates is inefficient because you are getting work and submitting shares more often, increasing the load on the pools stratum which can lead to stale shares.

Based on the fixed 4000MH difficulty Ethermine uses, your miner should be getting 60% more shares on Ethermine to be equal to the amount of shares at a fixed 10000MH diff for Nanopool.

nanopool diff is 5000MH not 10000MH, anyway I see better payout on ethermine.

I use server psu with breakout board, and option A for my RX570/RX470. basically riser consumes zero watts if card requires additional power. in this case you can power all risers using one sata cable and stock 6pin to sata connector.

i have change from ethermine to nanopool to check if i can have a better hashrate. i know nanopool just dont show the stales shares but i read somewhere else that they changed the diff so less shares but bigger so maybe less stales. i will see in a couple of days

I switched from nanopool to ethermine. even if I receive approx. 5% of stale shares, I get better payout and number of shares increased 20%, comparing to nanopool.
