So we have to run multiple daemons to get better rewards (HPS2)? It seems the pool reward algorithm is wrong? All the shares are equal no matter the difficulty of the share is?
One 10-CPU machine with 1 miner gives 29k HPS2.
One 10-CPU machine with 10 miners gives 120k HPS2.
29k to 120k. it is 4 times reward.
This will let us create many many workers in the pool.
Btw, you can consolidate your workers so we dont have massive long list of miners in the leaderboard- once you know your avg HPS2, you can point two or more daemons at one workerid and should see the increased HPS2 now. The HPS itself will be wrong, but HPS2 should rise.
Ah, I've only looked at HPS when I tested that and I guess I didn't give enough time for HPS2 to rise.
But does this mean I can point all of my separate machines to just one workerid, or does that apply only to the nodes on the same machine?
I've not done it personally, but you can point multiple machines at one workerID. It will show only one of their "reported" HPS but the HPS2 will be the actual aggregate. Would be interesting to test out if a singular workerID with multiple machines pointed to it is worse than multiple workerIDs with multiple machines.
