Why not submit STALE shares?? [SOLVED]

[go4gonzo]

In cgminer you can have the option to NOT submit stale shares...is there any reason why you would submit stale shares? Does it affect mining or income?

I would like pros and cons please!  Currently I have the argument to NOT submit stales, no reason really just because.  However, I would like to know more. Thank you.

Some pools pay for stale shares (PPS pools, most commonly), so you'd want to submit them. I can see also not submitting them to keep your stats pristine, if you're OCD about that sort of thing.

Also look at p2pool. Due to the way the protocol works there is always a (very small) possibility that stale p2pool shares could contain the solution for the current Bitcoin block.

Most of the pools are not paying for the stale shares since the introduction of stratum support.
Hence this forced people starting to use stratum, and to reduce the load on servers stale shares are no longer submitted. (If not paid for them, why submit?)

Thanks for all the replies! Now I know, and knowing is half the battle.

G...I.nevermind.
