I'm currently getting a virtual TON of "stale shares detected, discarding." Which variable(s) should I add or tweak to try and fix this problem? Is this normally an Intensity issue?
Thank you ahead of time!
try to dial back you intensity till your hashrate starts to drop
sometimes if you set it too high you will get stale shares
also can be caused by latency to the pool server
if you are on a p2pool try to find one with the lowest latency
Expiry has a significant effect on "stale shares". I say this in quotes, because the "stale shares detected, discarding" you were seeing are very likely not actual stale shares. To see if the shares were really stale, use
"no-submit-stale" : false,
Increase your expiry (and potentially scan-time if you have it set low too) first. Only decrease intensity if you're getting REAL stale shares.
I'm willing to bet that opet has expiry set to 1 or something equally silly.
