To verify the shares, the pool must compute the hash… meaning that, without shares, pools would have to redo ALL the hashes that miners do just to be sure that miners are actually doing the work in the first place. This is why it’s advisable to connect to the nearest pool stratum server to your geographic location.)įrom this description, can you see why shares are so important? (Note: “stale” or “rejected” shares can occur when you submit shares after the block for those shares has already been found, something which typically occurs in the few milliseconds immediately following a block find. Getting the same result verifies that the proof of work is valid. To verify the validity of the shares you submitted, the pool simply repeats the same hash computation that you did to produce the shares in the first place.
