I am on Poolflaire… On 2 KD box pro I get 3.2 KDA every day … Tried to log on Asterpool but my KD boxes just died… I asume that rejecton rate was very high , and that servers are far far away from Europa , i was geting only 0.3 TH per box…
Which Asterpool Stratum did you use?
Did you try their auto-geo locating stratum? It automatically connects your miners to one of Asterpools servers that gives you the lowest latency.
Asterpool has worldwide servers with servers in Europe… so it it should work fine…
- Asterpools Auto Geo locating Stratum Url is : pool.asterpool.io:3088
I do know Asterpool is still working on finding the ideal server locations…. For best overall lowest latency no matter where you are located…
yeap I used that stratum… I will wait for a month and try again
If you don’t mind @nemanja,
Where are you located in Europe? And how long did you have your miners on Asterpool?
I’ll pass your problem with Asterpool along with this information to Asterpool via discord.
Asterpool is pretty good at getting issues resolved or explaining why and what they are going to do about it in the future.
Thanks!
I am located in Belgrade , Serbia… I was cc 15 minutes on pool… As I said they were hassing 0.3 TH per miner…
Currently Asterpools EU server is located in Amsterdam, Netherlands. So a not a ideal location for your location. But they are in the process of figuring out best server locations to reduce orphaned block rates… So in the future there may be a Asterpool server closer to your location.
If your curious, join Asterpools Discord to keep on top of how things play out.
How is Asterpool doing? Do they really only have 11 miners?
@Winston, Yes, they have had roughly only 11 miners at a time max, since lunch. Their pool is still being worked on and being tweaked. High Hash-rate machines have too many rejections currently.
They have a KD6 ordered that they are going to troubleshoot and tweak their pool to fix this issue. They should be getting the KD6 relatively soon. But I’m thinking this is what is holding them back at the moment.
I know they are doing non-live tests with server locations to try to also figure out how to reduce orphaned blocks.
So Asterpool is still yet very alive behind the scenes.
KD boxes and Pros still do ok on Asterpool. Not as well as Poolflare, but ok. Luck fluctuates and you’ll have ok weeks, poor weeks, and great weeks…But this is not surprising with such low hashrates for the pool currently. Asterpool averaged out over a long period of time gives decent returns…
I still have positive outlook for Asterpool, just need to let them work out the qinks.

I was just curious I wanna give em a try. but if they are having high hashrate problems, putting my KD5 there does not sound wise.
@Winston, Yes, wait a little longer. I’m keeping tabs on their progress and plan on updating here when Asterpool is good to go!
@SpragClutch thanks for this post on Asterpool. I switched my 4 kdboxes from Poolflare on 05/25 and it has been pretty consistent. Hit a couple of days above 4, something I had not seen in months. I had a box down on June 6 so earnings were lower. I will keep them on Aster for while and see how it pans out.

Quick update from Asterpool via their discord,
“Hi Everyone,
As most of you know, we have been working to fix the reject rate issues on the pool. However, it is taking longer than expected. In order to put our full focus on solving this issue, we have decided to scale back the operations by pausing the EU, Asia, AU and East-US nodes. These will be turned off by 30th June. The US West node will remain operational in beta-testing mode.
Once we’ve completely addressed the reject rate issue, we’ll make a formal announcement and re-launch the pool. Those who’re close to US-West node may continue to use it. Others may want to move the miners to a different pool for the time being.
We are committed to Kadena ecosystem and believe this is the best way to ensure that we build something that is resilient over the long run.
Thanks for your support,
AsterPool team”
Thanks for the update. I pulled out today and returned to Pooflare. Here is my 30 day earnings, which was about 6 KDA per week less than Poolflare. Hope they are able to fix their issues.
