Lower hashrate of PascalCoin on Nanopool

[zz0622]

Hi Guys,

I've been mining PascalCoin on Nanopool for about a week.

I've tried all their servers and seems only EU1 and US West have best delay around 300ms which is still quite high.

My share rejection rate is around 1.6%, is this value higher than normal? I'm afraid the high delay time causes it.

The hashrates of my 3 rigs shown on Claymore are 1300Mh/s, 3700Mh/s, 2500Mh/s, the total should be around 7500Mh/s.

But on Nanopool average hashrate is always around 6200Mh/s. Even I take 2% fee and 1.6% rejection into account it's still lower than expected.

Is there anything I can do to fix the low hashrate issue? Or is there any other recommended PascalCoin Pool?

Thank you for all the kindly help guys. : )

Just registered here to say I'm experiencing the same issue as well.
I've been mining for 2 day continuously, claymore's miner reports almost constant hashrate of ~700 MH/s yet on nanopool it shows ~600 on 6-hour and even 24-hour averages.

So, I stopped mining completely for 1 hour then restarted for 1 hour then stopped again and counted the number of (accepted) shares.
On nanopool the sum was around 18% lower than what shows up on the miner.

WTF is going on ? 

(BTW, I'm also getting around 1% rejected shares, but that's clearly not the issue here)

Umm...looks like you're experiencing the same issue.

The reject rate is high but won't cause so much difference.

Accounting to your measurement on share difference, I guess there are two possible situation.

1. Nanopool take some shares as 2% commission fee.
2. The worst case is if the difference is much more than 2%, then it might be some "disappearing" share(hashpower lose) between Miner & Nanopool's communication.

Anybody else has the same issue? Or got any idea about it?

Same here since some days... i'm getting only 78% average hashrate from the reported hashrate currently, which is ways to low.
It was better in the first days of January...something is wrong here...

i just found a good alternative in Coinotron...the devs of PASC are recommending to switch to Coinotron to avoid the increasing mining centralization on Nanopool.

just started to mine there, so here are my experiences:

the hashrates are quite stable at that, what i expected and turns around 98% of my hardware hashrate, which is ways better then the current values of Nanopool (as mentioned i got only 78%!!)

As Coinotron is probably the only other PASC pool beside Nanopool with a hashrate ratio of 1(coinotron) : 99(nanopool) so dont expect to get paid that regularly like in the big pool as Nano is mining 99% of all blocks and the chance for Coinotron of finding a block is much lower. But in the long term, you definitely get what you actually mined...with my 1GH/s i got nearly 1 PASC yesterday, what i couldn't achieve in the last days on Nano...

Additional to the centralization problem of Pascalcoin on nearly one mining pool, the whole network hashrate increased over the last week to fourfold or more...some new big fishes are joined the pool and only six(!!!) miners are grabbing nearly 50% of all blocks and so earning 50% of all coins as well...this has nothing to do with a community friendly coin...this is nearly a monopool...so i decided to not support this coin anymore, and stop mining Pascalcoin as soon as possible.

Pascal Lite seems to try to find a better concept of a community based coin, so i'm going to try to join that...
