By how much would you estimate?
around 25-50% is very common over at least 5 days.
Which connection types are they using? For example, are they port forwarding at Hetzner and home networking at home?
port-forward both Hetzner and Home. I wonder if the ISP could be a cause to why the Hetzner nodes seem to have an advantage.
I understand that it is not a permanent connection but I only use the computer I have the nodes on for Autonomi testing purposes, I also used a hot-spot connection early on and had no problems getting earnings. I mentioned that rusty.spork looked at my parameters, I showed the speedtest of my connection and he said it should be fine, Note that nowhere does it say, that a fixed connection is required and the tests are to check any configurations, right?
You should always mention that connection so that they know about it because that is the most possible reason for why it is not working.
