Since January 13, my stale shares increased from 0.5% to 2% without any obvious explanation. In my flight sheet I tried to use my closest pool (45ms) and I also tried the AUTO option that locates me in the same pool. Nothing changed.
The eth.hiveon.com single address upgrade was on 1/6/2022.
The method of targeting a single server is a bit different now and not recommended with the exception of a narrow cases. To point at a single address and accept the responsibility of failover, there is a “direct” added to the addresses as this baseline: xx-eth-direct.hiveon.net
Hiveon Pool still pays out 50% value up to <5% stale shares. Factor such into your analysis.
Full disclosure, I mine on various pools to suit certain payout criteria and stales still vary for me after I aggressively tuned my systems to the service provider demarcation. Whether the % range matters to you will require a calculation of all the variables.
Same here. This morning I have split the mining over three pools (hive, 2miners and ethermine). I have meantime about 1.5% stales with hive and zero stales with 2miners/ethermine.
Considering hive pays 50% of the stales, i am starting to have funny ideas how they make their money.
I will continue the testing for another two-three days.
