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?
sat internet is horrible for mining, doubt there is anything you can do short of getting better internet, something wired preferably. Id bet any pool you connect too you are going to have around that much stale shares
