Guys is ethermine.org still one of the go to pools for ethereum mining?
I always have about 96% accepted shares and 4% stale shares .. ? Why 4%? Is that the miner fee?
What does stale mean in this relation?
I mean the weekly outcome is good but slightly below of the whattomine calculation with my "reported" hashrate from my rigs.
All rigs perfectly stable since the last restart one week ago. No disconnects, restarts, etc.
Any help or info for me?
Thanks a lot!
The only pool you should avoid is Nanopool, it produces twice as many stales compared to other pools, just don't report them.
You shouldn't worry about stales on Ethermine, it is completely normal for a network with 15s block time to produce a noticeable amount of stale shares. You're getting paid anyway, just on a slightly lower rate.
