Ok, you miners can't read:
reduced devfee, it's 2% now (72sec instead of 90sec) if you use secure SSL/TLS connection
After using the SSL/TLS, the share rejection is 1.0 to 1.5% now. The rejection rate was 0.3 to 0.5 previously.
my reject rate, with ssl, is 0.71% and 0.83% on my two rigs. more or less what it was before.
People don't understand that a rejected share is one that cross with a new job somewhere along the way. If the pool is slow processing incoming shares you also may get a reject. My rejects were around 1% at flypool going as high as 3% with timeouts that are frequent there. On the other end at dwarf the reject rate is 0.2%. So before blaming the miner you should be blaming the pool
My stale rate on suprnova went from ~0.25% before to 0.3% to 0.5% with SSL (Not running for long, need more time to get better number). My response time went from 62ms to 140ms, due to not being on the US server anymore. Before when on non US server response was ~125ms. The increased stalerate seems roughly correlated with server response time, mining from US to Europe. Pool will probably add another SSH server in future. I could also reduce my ping by ~30ms switching to gigabit fiber from the Comcast I have right now.....
Server response time would effect Ethereum a lot more, due to 10x faster blocktime.
