Tried Hashcows for two days but I got a lot of rejects! (around 10-25% depending the coin)
I tried numerous pools and never had this problem before... Any idea ?

One of the major reasons is Hashcows jumps from pool to pool and when they do you shares drop and turn into rejects due to nothing to work on while pool moves to another coin. One thing that multipool does is gradually moves the miners without any rejects or very very low. Hashcows just slams on the breaks Smiley  also alot of alt coins have high rejects do to the low hashing going on.. i guess ?

I don't get this issue at all and have been mining with hashcows since 2 days after it launched.

IIRC, the server is in the EU, if you are mining on it from the US/AUS etc then this might be why you have a slightly higher rejected rate, myself I get between 2-4% across my rigs.  Do not enable --no-submit-stale if using cgminer, half the time when my rigs detect a stale share and submit it, it is accepted.

Some coins do have a high rejected rate, sometimes it is normal to see a 15-20% rejected rate for a coin.  Drop your intensity down to 18 if you have it set higher,  I found this to lower my rejected rate quite a bit on here.  I have no issues with an intensity at 20 mining LTC but other scrypt coins I get a higher rejected rate.

Hope this helps someone.
