Ether shares

TheKnightster 7 years ago updated 7 years ago 1

Hi, I just swtiched to Coinfoundry from another pretty large pool.  I have 2 rigs, and am only mining with 1 right now.  I have noticed that when mining Eth, the number of shares I get here is about 4-5 times more than I got on the other pool.  


I am a bit confused about this (I'm still pretty new to this), I thought the number of shares you get is more or less directly related to the amount you earn as a miner and a high number of shares is directly related to the number of miners and total pool hash rate.  This pools hash rate is about 1/4 of the previous pool, shouldn't I get less shares here?  


What am I missing?

Just to add to this, I have already gotten over 400 successful shares here, and I have only been mining this pool about 30 minutes.  On the previous pool I average about 150 in an hour with BOTH rigs (total 8 GPUs).
