Hey guys,

I still have a number of stale shares on ethermine.org whilst using v11.5. To give you an idea, I regularly get over 10% stale shares. I mine with 2 x GTX 1050ti, 1 x rx470 and 1 x rx480.

So onto the question, Claymore, is it possible to log what gpu is submitting the stale share?

No, because pool doesn't notify miner that the share is stale, you can only see it on pool dashboard

Really?! So how does this option works, if miner does not know about stale shares:

Quote
-estale   send Ethereum stale shares to pool, it can increase effective hashrate a bit. Default value is "1", set "-estale 0" if you don't want to send stale shares.

Pool sees different rate of stale shares than miner, it's always higher, so I don't see any reason to show stale shares rate of the miner, it's quite low. However, due to some delays on pool and also network delays, pool always will get more stale shares than miner knows.
The only way to get the pool stale shares rate is to get appropriate response from pool, but pool does not notify miner that the share is stale. To understand it deeply you should learn how pool mining works in details.
Ok, thank you for explain.
Claymore,
Don't you want to add a new option into your miner: to set epools.txt (dpools.txt) files as options in command line or in config.txt file. That will let user to launch just different bat-files when switching to another coin without making each time changes in epools(dpools)-files for new alternative pools.
