What a "Rejected share" is?

Mining
1

Hello, fellows! Would someone be so kind to clarify what a rejected share is? Is it normal or not to have “Rejected Share” from time to time?

I’m a newbie - trying to mine @ flypool EWBF’s CUDA Zcash miner. From time to time I get messages about “Rejected share” that seem troubling but I dont know if this is normal or not. Below is a part of a log:

Either good hashes of bad work or bad hashes of good work.
Your pings are very long. That means the computations are good but too late. Part of the competition of mining is network connectivity speed. We both do the same work but whoever turns it first gets credit. Alternatively, if your cards are overclocked they may produce bad computations, but in time (so ive read).

Whats up Alj64;

I’ve been mining for a short time too; I am using linux (ubuntu) and have run into a similar problem and am yet to find a solution. It’s seems as though the miner cannot connect to the pool to unload the shares in time. There is usually a break (no accepted shares for about 5-10min) and then all those shares which haven’t been submitted turn to rejected shares and recieved a massive red wall of rejected shares. I have other miners running from the same internet line and they are not experiencing any such issues.

Before this I’d been running for 2 weeks - under-clocking the cards without any of these issues. My Api also shares that both the miner and pool (flypool) are still connected. Sometimes I think that it is the hidden devfee which removes our miner and then returns after a little while. I wish I could help and if I find something that works I post it here.

If anyone can help us; please do; I feel like my pockets have holes in them. d:-{

2 things, fix your temps and fix your internet connection. your shares are rejected because someone has already found the solutions that your submitting because its taking you 226 seconds for your data to get to the server…
