The stale and unknowns are WAY too high, what's going on?  I thought this was being addressed?  19% stale is not on my end, I've got 50MB fibre with a 32ms ping time, and I keep getting pool not providing work fast enough.  If this can't be addressed it makes no sense to stay.

We do have some new hardware in the works.  It'll be a week or two before it's deployed.


This is what I see on the site right now:

Pool Hash Rate   80.716 MH/s
Pool Efficiency   96.20%

Few mins later, reloaded the pool stats page, looks like this right now:

Pool Hash Rate   81.845 MH/s
Pool Efficiency   98.05%

Seems pretty good.

A few minutes later:

Pool Hash Rate   81.492 MH/s
Pool Efficiency   80.57%

Ugh... but... Ah!  We also found the last block just a minute ago.  Maybe the drops are happening on the round boundaries.  That would explain the spikes in unknown-work?  If you're submitting work for a block that was just solved?  Your log seems to confirm that theory.  LP new block found, then all work rejected for a minute after that?

Cheers.
