Hi guys,
is ping important in mining?
the latency that EWBF gives me is 250- 260ms .
does it affect the payment?
how many accepted shares should i have (in a minute or hour...) for 3-4k sols ??
Ping could impact how many rejected shares that you get but 250-260ms isnt too bad, the longer it takes your miners to get an update in the event of new work the more likely they are to be working on the old work.
I live in Australia and unfortunately there aren't any large pool nodes so I have to connect to pools in China or Asia so my normal ping is around 300 - 600ms. But in general I don't see a large number of rejected shares. It might be a tiny bit more than someone that was working closer to the node but I don't feel that it has a significant impact.
Also the number of shares is hard to quantify as the share difficulty of your pool could be variable and it will also be different from from pool to pool. It will also be different from coin to coin. If you let us know what pool you are mining with someone else will most likely be using it as well and may be able to give you an idea their share count.
Thanks a lot for your answer. i'm using nanopool. as i tried different calculators i should make 0.09 to 0.1 zec /day for 4k sols, but nanopool estimation says 0.075/day . before nanopool i was on suprnova, which was good but has gone bad recently (it paid me just 0.04 yesterday!!!!) so i changed to nanopool which had tested before and was better.another thing is that the help of nanopool says 1 share per 10 minutes for 5 h/s ... so for one of my rigs which is 880 sols, it should be 176 shares per 10 minutes , but i'm having 30-40 shares per 10 minutes!!! i just don't know what is wrong! couldn't blame anything else except ping... and i'm using EWBF.
should i change my pool to flypool or something else? think i tested flypool and didn't have good results with it either...
the thing you said about rejected share is not a problem for me. as i've checked and seen, i don't have much rejected shares (almost nothing).
Agree with you about the ping , that it should just influence the number of rejected shares, but the thing that i thought and worried about is that sometimes it just detects a work and won't get an accepted share from it (and sometimes it happens a few times in a row) ... is it related to ping or it's something else?
