Hello everyone!

I was just thinking if running the miners on different PC's with worker ids affect the hash rate. I noticed that when I run the miner (xmrig) without worker ids, the overall hashrate is a little low and the number of expired shares is more.

Does it have anything to do with the worker ids or its just random?

I've been mining Electroneum(ETN) since a week now on ucrypto.com pool and submitted quite a good number of shares but the payment stats are not updated. My pending balance is still zero. The payments stats lists the last payout was made on 25th December.

Is the pool inactive? There are still miners on the pool with quite a good hash rate. I've currently stopped mining and switched to darkpool
