Topic: POLL: How much stales do you get? (Read 14074 times)
I just noticed I have 19 stales of 90 accepted at bitcoins.lc with GUIminer. How do I activate long polling if it is supported? Anything else I could do like add some flags.
Shares (Stale%)
------- ------
35616 (0.49%)
35943 (0.47%)
36462 (0.46%)

I'm at about 0.7% stale.
BTCGuild, 3x6990 (no OC), 2 GH/s, Phoenix, WLAN, long polling

good thing you asked.
over the last maybe 10hours I got:
btc guild 5.6% (ping 184ms)
deepbit 6.5% (ping 31ms)
slush 15% !!! (ping 45ms)
I am using phoenix and had the option -q 3 set. Will try with default queuesize now.
(located in germany)
the -q option did not make any difference.over the last maybe 10hours I got:

what else influences the amount of stale shares? WLAN connection? driver/sdk? miner?
I am running phoenix on 10.12/2.1 via WLAN.

I read that the slower your workers hashrate relative to the network the more stales you get. I ran three workers on each card to be failsafe - that does not seem to be a good idea...
Been back to slush for a while, and since I last started GUIMiner it seems I have had 197 stales out of some 35900 shares...
Seems I'm doing quite well. Can't say I have any extraordinary settings, but maybe it helps being on 100Mbit line connected to a city fiber network that was built only a couple of years ago...

Well I have an AMD 6870 coming in on wed, so I can just keep putting up with this for now until that card arrives.
I am averaging about 6.32 MHash/s so while it is definitely nothing spectacular it is better than trying to churn it out with my CPU.
Barely, my 2GHz Core2Duo Laptop gets 4MHs on cpu alone.
Maybe try using ufasofts miner as well as whatever you use for the GPU to harness both? http://forum.bitcoin.org/?topic=3486.0
May boost your speeds.
To use with eligius pool make a shortcut to run this: bitcoin-miner.exe -a 5 -o http://mining.eligius.st:8337 -u YourBitcoinAddress -p x

The Quatro's are tuned for 2D acceleration, not sure about cuda performance.
Could be your network connection though.

I am having an issue of 87.6% stales.... 
My set up is a Quadro FX770M in a Dell Precision Laptop. Diablo miner using FASTLOOP AGGRESSION=6 BFI_INT w 64
any ideas on how I can improve this down to the numbers that everyone else is achieving, or is it just the fact of having a crappy card for mining?

If you're consistently getting more than 2% you should move to another pool.
I've got miners on Deepbit and BTC Guild, with no more than 1.5% stale shares (usually less than 1%)
6x 5870 overclocked to 420/440
2x 6950 (not overclocked - PC used for other things)

I've been getting low stales at BTCGuild. Since I have been mining there, I see about .02%. to .03%. I have took a snip to prove:

1804/71600=0.0252 which is 2.5%, not 0.025%
0.5 to 1% Deepbit, 2% Eligius US. I should have the worst here being in Australasia, but these results seems par. Except for the bloke with his own pool.
Hello,
over a smallish sample (4000) i got like 3,5% on eligius EU
(2x 5850 + another 5850 in my desktop) with phoenix miner
Slush seems to be located in europe, got good connection here (I am in germany too).
You could try eligius.st EU server (hosted in .de), swepool or deepbit (hosted in .de)

4,7% at slush
5870+6870
I might try BTCguild soon.
I'm from germany so..that might be the cause.
Are there any good pools in Yurop? I heard BTCguild gets a server here by the end of the week.

Would it have anything to do with network utilization? I run 5 rigs off a WRT54g linksys router. It seems to me, if you get two shares hitting the router at the same time, one has to wait! Then you end up with a slight latency.
0.82%, One of my windows miners at slush, couple days uptime. Normal radeon 5850 at very slight overclock (5-10%).
Standard rig with 80+ gold PSU etc.
Almost exactly 1%, a 5770 running on low end rig, few days uptime.
About 3-5% at BTC Guild recently, but less than 1% when its server got upgraded. It might have something to do with server load.
Cumulative, about 1.3-1.4% since reset.

Do you have less than 1% stales?
