Maybe Antpool was having some issues??? OR just taking ZEC from us???
I was on Antpool briefly since Slush and no other pools were working for ZEC initially. Very high rejection rate. Switched to Flypool which was better. Currently on Slush with
zero fees and getting 0.20/day. A lot of people stopped mining ZEC on Slush over the past few months but slowly coming back and hash rate has doubled from new ASICs.
