This post will define the rejection rate, explain what it is, and go over the causes of high rejection rates for Antminer S17 series miners.

Description of Mining Pool Rejection Rate
- The ratio of data rejected by the mining pool to all data sent when a mining machine sends data to the mining pool is referred to as the mining pool’s rejection rate.
- If the hashrate of the Antminer S17 series miner is not affected, this parameter can be ignored.
- The miner sends data to the mining pool every few or ten seconds depending on various algorithms and hashrate. There are some requirements for this data. The mining pool will reject data if it is abnormal or does not comply with its requirements, which will result in an increase in the number of miners who are rejected.
- Instability in the network is the primary cause of mining pools’ high rejection rates.
- The mining pool server, comprised of the local network, the operator network, and the mining pool server, receives the data from the mining machines. The mining pool rejection rate will rise as a result of the following typical exceptions.
- Local network: generally interference, network cable virtual connection and other problems
- Operator network: generally the network node is unstable
- Mining pool server: server exception
Please contact the mining pool customer service if you have any questions about how mining pools typically work with tests.

Why Does the Antminer S17 Series Miner Rejection Rate Get High?
High miner rejection rate may be resulting from the following reasons:
1. Poor network and slow speed
A mining pool is connected to by the miner. And mining pool regularly assigns jobs to miners; after that, the miner submits shares to a mining pool, entailing a significant amount of data transmission. As a result, network efficiency has a direct impact on miners’ hash rate and rejection rate.
You can confirm network status by the following steps:
1) The network where the miner is connected must be connected to your computer.
2) Your computer should now be at the cmd command prompt.
3) To mine a specific currency in a mining pool, enter ping + space + mining address.
2. Antminer S17 series miner’s temperature is too high
Particularly during the sweltering summer, the miners’ high body temperatures will also have an impact on the hash rate and rejection rate. The screenshot that follows shows a normal temperature. Temperatures below 90 to 100 are typically normal for miners, who have different rated temperatures. Please refer to each miner’s rated temperature.
3. Antminer S17 series Firmware issues
Some miners may typically have a high rejection rate due to firmware problems. After updating to the most recent Antminer S17 series firmware, it is advised to try again.
FAQs
What is An Acceptable Reject Rate Mining?
Usually less than 2% rejected rate is considered normal, but if you detect a rate higher than 2%, or experience a sudden spike, most likely due to instability in the mining pool network.
Why is My Mining Fee So High?
The main reason for high bitcoin miner fees is supply and demand. The 1MB block size for bitcoin limits the number of transactions that miners can confirm for each block, which is created every ten minutes.
Is Higher Hashrate Better for Mining?
It is roughly the average of all the hash rates of every miner in the network. A higher hash rate is better, because it increases the miner’s chances of finding the next block and receiving a Bitcoin reward.
