@Shu I have discovered that machines with higher latency earn significantly less, hold less records and less live records despite not being shunned.
Took a bit of head scratching to figure this out because on the face of it all was well, peers, records, no shuns, yet horrific earnings.
Had I not had adjacent machines to compare these too, I would never have noticed that there was a discrepancy.
I would have thought that is just what it should be like.
The culprit machines are on a long ethernet cable that slowed them down.
