I hope this isn't too far off topic as it does relate to our pool. When I choose "Show Details for Invalids" on the Workers page, all of my invalids are the result of stale shares. They indicate 1,2 or 3 invalids and one miner is showing 7 invalids. EDIT: The stales have increased since I first posted this. Is there anything I can do on my end to decrease or eliminate these stale shares? My Internet has always been basically flawless. Is it a miner issue? Thanks for any info or tips! Happy to see two blocks so far on this 1st day of October! Let's add two or three more!! On Kano's cue, I checked ping times for all the nodes from here, and ended up with the main US node being the fastest for me. Someone suggested I go for the SG node, but seeing as how I'm in the middle of the Pacific, just because SG is (perhaps) physically closer than LV doesn't mean it's any faster. The signal actually has to go through two more loops to get there from here...or back. There are so many factors involved in latency...anyway... Since I don't have a complete understanding of invalids or stales (just too lazy, I guess, to get into it since I haven't had a problem with it), I'm hesitant to comment further...dunno what I'm talking about... I'm pointed to the main node. Since I'm on the US East coast, sort of, that would seem the closest. I haven't tried pings on any of the nodes to see if I get better results. Too lazy also. LOL

LOL Yeah, for you I would think that's an assumed for LV. The backbone on the mainland is stable; my connect from here is via ocean fiber with sat backup direct to the West coast, but the only reason I have that sort of backbone available in the factual middle-of-nowhere is because the Navy's Pacific Missile Range Facility is a few clicks down the highway from my village (beyond that is French Frigate Shoals).

Three blocks already for the first day of the month is a good start. Makes me happy anyhow.
Still time to get a few more...

Yup...in the words of the inimitable Rachel Maddow as she stirs a Manhattan on Friday evening...
We'll be fine!

I'm so tempted to plug in my two working S7's for an additional 8-9TH. But they would have to be plugged in somewhere other than the coin room as I'm out of outlets in there. Decisions, decisions.... Oh, wait, I only have one more power supply... But it is an EVGA 1600, so could go anywhere. If the BTC price continues to climb a bit more it will make that decision a little easier. EDIT: Maybe I'll just hold out and see if there is going to be a new Avalon. That would probably be a better use for my electricity.

this is seriously bad lately - I can only be positive now for short time more - and I am VERY patient man.........
I checked several pools (and not for a short time either)-this is THE best if you look at 1 year stats. Luck can ebb and flow. All i am looking for is to get 99% long term, and I would be happy. 1 year is much more than 100%. I have been on one other large pool for more than a year and you know what average was there? 92% people talk about 94% over short time like it is a tragedy, which is what you should expect from time to time. yes - I agree with you. I have mined other places for almost 3 years - and been mining here for almost a year. Its always turned out best here in the end. But sometimes it just gets a bit depressing in the hollows.

Any news on new s9 batches?
Their offices will be closed October 01-07 in observance of the Chinese National Day. You will not see anything until National Day is over. I'm still trying to figure out which day it actually is

I was looking at my invalids again and since all of my invalids are from stale shares, I thought I would post a picture to see if they are within normal ranges. Thanks for any feedback!

They need a golden week in the US lol. I'd love a week long break like that. Although mining never sleeps regardless of holiday, etc.

I am back. Power was out for almost six hours. I need to make up for some lost hash time and get my 5N back up into normal range I need to another power supply to run my S7 so I guess running the S5 overnight will have to do.

Thanks for any feedback! https://s22.postimg.org/71e2uespt/workers.jpgWell the pool average at the moment is 0.27% so your doing better than that. I've no idea what an S9 is supposed to get, but a stale means it arrived at the pool after the block changed, so either it's one of: 1) network hops to the pool 2) your source network 3) S9 is slow getting work out sometimes But again, in your case it's better than the pool average.

Hey folks, been a tough last few days on the mining front. Its sad that some folk have jumped off the pool and got the hash rate down a bit, but with the better btc price and a higher share, ill stay here.
Its started getting cold in the uk so ive got all my miners now in the workshop which is free cooling for me so the server rooms not getting so much of a hammering. Im no big player running 2 X S9's and 2 X S7's but i think the S7's need a new home now. I think when the next batch of S9's drops on line, Im going to order one to replace 2X S7's and dump these on fleebay. I cant afford another S9 just yet but the extra hash rate (only a little) and lower energy costs should make it proffitable for me. Its been touch and go this week.
Ill stay, with the difficulty increase and increase in hash power this last few weeks things were bound to tighten up but hey shit can only get better. Ive ridden out the luck on here and some of the bad times but its still a lucky pool, always should be.
We just need a little more (proven a few months back) to keep up.
If you are thinking of jumping to another pool then dont, just stay a while and you will see what happens when we get our hash rate back up again.

Thanks for your reply, Kano. I didn't notice the pool average until you just mentioned it. At least I'm glad my miners are better than the pool average. When I have some time I will delve into the possibilities. Thanks! Edit: Average time over 10 pings: 38.18 ms Tracert 8 hops, 42 ms Those seem good. Since I am in Western North Carolina USA, the main node seems like it would be a given. But I will try some other nodes later just to see a comparison. EDIT 2: What does "Hi" indicate under invalids? (I just looked up 'Hi" using Search.) Now I have multiples of those for each miner and my pool 5 minute hash rate is almost 10TH less than what my Awesome Miner app says it is. I'm slightly confused. LOL. But that's nothing new. Never mind. I must be just a little OCD today. My workers are all set to 0 under management so not sure why they would all suddenly submit shares that were out of the difficulty range. Oh well, I'm not going to worry about it. Time to watch some football. MINE ON! and... COME ON DOWN BLOCKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!
