Ok with last changes in the p2pool Source code we are able to see number of Stale Shares. After updating the Source Code i've started the p2pool and the Diablo Miner. 1 hour later i can see the following Result.

- Gentoo Linux 64 bit stable
- Catalyst 11.6 + AMD SDK 2.4
- HD 5670 900/300 MHz (Core/Ram)
- ~101 mhash/s
- latest Diablo Miner and p2pool version

Code:
Pool: 978 mhash/s in 35799 shares Recent: 5.38% >52 mhash/s Known: 52 shares (so 16 stales)

That are a lot of stales. If p2pool and Diablo Miner runs 10 or more hours then i'm still seeing hashrates of 70-80 mhash/s. So i must assume that 20-30% of my contributed shares are stale shares.

If i'm using the Diablo Miner with Eligius pool i'm still getting around 10% of stales. And if i'm using cgminer with Eligius i'm getting lesser stales but around 10-15% of corrupted shares.

I don't know why i'm getting such a high stale rate. Maybe my Internet connection is not fast enough or the 5670 is too slow.

Can someone confirm this issue?


Thanks.

Best Regards.
