ok not sure if this is relevant, ever since i switched to PPLNS from PPS i've been getting quite a bit more stale shares but here's the overall figures is there something i should be concerned about?

Bitcoin mining is now a specialized and very risky industry, just like gold mining. Amateur miners are unlikely to make much money, and may even lose money. Bitcoin is much more than just mining, though!

you should be happy with 0.46% stale.

Very true. But doesn't the dupe count seem really high in proportion?

Sorry for the thread necro. What is a reasonable percentage of duplicate shares for Avalon devices ?

Dupes should be close to zero. Earlier avalon firmware had design problems that caused dupes and updating firmware should fix it.

0.46% stale is quite usual for an Avalon these days. One thing to keep in mind is that stale rates will scale roughly in proportion with network growth rate. So when you're at a period of 20-30% network growth rate, you can expect roughly that many more stales than normal. So if 0.40% was your nominal rate, it may be 0.48-0.52% when network is growing rapidly. Dupes are often firmware related, but can also be network connectivity (resubmission of a share due to lack of response in a timely manner). I know FPGAs were big culprits of duplicates, but they weren't actually *wasted* work, it was simply that there was some kind of firmware bug that caused them to report the same nonce information in certain scenarios where no solution was found when the nonce range was depleted. My Avalon lately has been mostly clean on dupes with later firmware, generally a completely insignificant amount. It may be network connectivity, since my Avalon is on wireless across the house, with a microwave in the middle
