Thank you for the response. I was afraid that it may just be part of mining at that location. The phone lines for the building aren't strong enough for the weakest version of DSL, and the nearest cable connection is a few miles away. I connected my laptop to a cell phone hot spot this past weekend on-site and saw ping times of 80-85ms. Prior to going down that road (buying a data plan/LTE router) I wanted to check in to see if anyone had any suggestions to try. I'm not looking forward to calculating the data needs and paying that monthly bill! 

I have a small mining setup in a remote location where power is on a much cheaper industrial rate. My only access to internet is Satellite or Verizon LTE. Luckily there was already an existing ViaSat (satellite internet) account onsite that I've been allowed to use. Ping times to us1.ethermine.org range between 600-650ms. I've got 6 different rigs, each running Claymore 10.2 (upgrading to 10.3 today). Each mining client shows less than 1 rejected share per day in Claymore. However, on ethermine.org, it reports 8-12% of shares are "stale" (for each rig).

Other than switching to a Verizon source internet signal, is there something that I can change in my configuration to help reduce stale shares? I've done a ping test on each of pools that are shown in the configuration example of Claymore and all show 600+ms. I've also checked us1,us2, ect for each pool shown.

 


EDIT: To be clear, I've only tested mining to ethermine pool. Would it be worth it to test another pool even though the ping times are similar?
