Pool Latency and Share Difficulty Optimization

Reduce stale shares by tuning endpoint selection, pool latency, and share-difficulty profiles.

Execution Sequence

  1. Measure round-trip latency across primary and backup pool endpoints.
  2. Choose fixed difficulty or VarDiff based on hashrate stability and observability needs.
  3. Monitor stale and reject rates after each tuning change for at least 24 hours.
  4. Keep one known-good fallback profile for fast incident recovery.
