I haven't, but from what I have heard Ocean gives you the most transparency and granularity of information, so it may not even be information you can access elsewhere.
Yeah, they may also be checking your connection more often. You'd be surprised on unreliable home network connections can be. I've set up monitoring on mine and its wild. You probably do not notice it when using it but if you have a system checking every few minutes it sometimes will fail. 20% seems really bad though.

Bingo! My hunch is that this is the answer.

I have installed a wifi booster relay in the space where the miner is to ensure a good signal. This seems to help but not completely eliminate the problem.
Just last night tweaking the miner to seek maximum hash and got a good hashrate only to then see it was not sharing the hashes with the pool.
So dialled down the hashrate and the share frequency seemed to improve.
Perhaps pushing the asic hard limits the ability for the miner to share the results to the pool?

Interesting. I can maybe move one of my mesh relays.
Totally off topic. I hope you don't mind. Can you talk about your solar ideas/setup for mining and give advice on how to start dabbling?
reply
Yes but firstly mining using solar is imo unfortunately totally uneconomic!
I can only do it to a limited scale because being offgrid the solar setup is justified to enable internet, lights, and fridge freezer.
If building a solar system only for Bitcoin mining it would be very hard to make it pay for itself.
Perhaps if you could get some cheap miner units and only mine when the sun shines - I remember Desert Dave describing running such a system.
But for me the priority is to keep the fridge freezer going and so now I am only running Lucky Miner 07 - 1TH 24/7 on the solar system - even that requires about 25wx24=600w/h/day- almost as much as the fridge freezer.
When I try to run the Nano3 at 2TH it draws ~70 watts continuously which is 24x70=1680watt/h/day- significantly more than the fridge freezer.
On the other hand it is nice to use the surplus when the sun shines and you see the energy being wasted as the batteries are full.
In conclusion- if you can justify a solar system without Bitcoin mining as the primary objective then it may be viable to do some BTC mining on top of that system- but to build solar primarily for BTC mining would be very difficult to make pay for itself.
Here's the link to the description of my solar system-
Beyond economics it is fun both mining BTC and being free of the utilities/cartels for power.
BTC mining and solar combines two hobbies - to capture the energy of the sun and feed it into the most equitable monetary system on the planet!
