Hmm weird, as I am connecting from Finland, and started using DE server since I had way much better ping there, but my hashrate was way down compared to using the main USA server which had 100ms worse ping for me compared to DE server..
For some reason I get much better hashrate using the main server so gonna use that for now..
Not sure how the node choice can affect
hashrate of all things (i.e. it shouldn't have any bearing at all)... Are you looking at the "share rate" instead of the "hash rate" for your workers? The former will vary wildly, especially immediately after a network block change and doesn't mean your actual hashrate is higher or lower.
Hmm seems it may be the miner (S2) fault as for some reason when I have Kano DE as primary and Kano USA as secondary, it sometimes hops to the USA server for a second and the S2 does not like that and I start getting more HW errors when it does that until I reboot it.. Also tried removing the secondary option which helped a bit, but still I see I am getting better hashrate on the Solo DE pool compared to what the hashrate was on either the main USA kano server or the new DE kano server.. Weird.. Might be just me though..
