I've been using claymore for my RX X80s for over a year now. Decided to give phoenix a go...and I'm damn happy I did: slight improvement in hashrate at the same clocks and power and significant reduction in stale shares! I've been suffering from 5-15% stales (ethermine.org) since Byzantium fork in 2017. With phoenix I have <1% stales.
Great job, man.

Retraction of my previous statement: number of stale shares is marginally lower than claymore's. During the first few hours of running phoenix I indeed had <1% of stales; number increased with time though and as of now I'm back to 5-10% stales.
Bad job, man!

Your 5-10% stale share is arguably bad. With the PH 2.9e, migrated from Claymore 11.5 my stale share rate is slightly higher than on Claymore yet still in the range of 1-3% - varies from day to day.
Stale share is sensitive not only to the miner code but also on the quality of your network speed and latency. Shares are accepted in 40-42ms in my

could you please explain to a noob (me) the difference between network speed and network latency? Huh
