Question for you all. I was looking at the solo pool stats and noticed the number of rejected shares versus total shares accepted.

"accepted": 24575964250308, "rejected": 8543041616789,

Is it normal to have such a high ratio of rejected to accepted shares? It's almost 35%.

Just curious...

It's not normal, it's likely shitty asic firmware. If the reported hashrate is still fine and consistent with the hardware then just ignore it, it means it's submitting shares below difficulty or something stupid.

So there's enough shitty firmware out there running in miners solo mining on this pool to cause over 1/3 of the total shares submitted by the entire solo pool to be rejected? That seems crazy! I could understand if a small portion of the miners connected to the pool had that issue but over 1/3 of our shares submitted are being rejected. Is this due to rentals maybe?

I'm not an expert by any stretch in this area which is why I'm trying to understand more about it. It just seems like a very gross inefficiency if 1/3 of our total shares on the solo pool as a whole are being rejected.

It's probably one miner, likely a rental related phenomenon. I might investigate.

Thank you ck. I'm curious what you find. Looking at it today, rejected total seems to still be ticking up quickly. If our average hash rate since the last block was let's say 15PH, it's concerning if we, as a "pool", had 5PH worth of those shares rejected. Something just doesn't seem right but again, I'm not an expert in this.
