Title: Pps highest
Post by: rahulgarcia on January 07, 2013, 10:28:18 AM
Hi which have the highest Pps currently? I have seen that my red is the highest, and but I get an io error every time I try to use it so I'm guessing there is something wrong with mtred. The next Highest is 50btc but I was wondering if there are others?

The highest PPS and stable atm is 50btc. Next highest stable is btcguild (as stable as 50btc but with 5% tax). Then, probably deepbit with 10% tax.
Ozcoin has 3% PPS as 50btc (and you will gain some extra with NMC merged mining and conversion to btc) but unfortunately they are less stable than 50btc or btcguild.

Sorry to say, but that's not true.
Bitparking (http://mmpool.bitparking.com/pool) has a lower fee plus you get some alt-coins from merged mining with them.

Great think I'll stay with 50btc I like all there graphs etc, and and they offer a good rate. I just want to make sure that they bpay for invalid and stake shares as about 200 of mine are from only 12 hours

Hey, no offense, I am talking about my tests on big pools. I have alot of hash power and I avoid small pools on the ground that I may put pressure on their hot wallets in case there is a long unlucky run. Also, server bandwidth is a real issue, I still use getwork.

You didn't mention that you were only talking about your tests on big pools.  ;)
And the pressure-on-unlucky-round-argument would only matter, if you switch pools right after such an unlucky long run (which wouldn't make much sense for you), if you just stay on the same pool it really doesn't matter, a lucky round will come and everything is fine again.

Anyway, i'm not saying one should use this, or that pool,
feel free to use whatever pool you like for whatever reason.

MTRed.com is the highest PPS available as they don't charge any fees and you can donate any % as you see fit.

We all talking about our experience, there is no study/chart to corroborate PPS / size / stability.
Then, if I use PPS, its quite reasonable to assume that I will switch pools from time to time, and I am doing based on several factors, mostly based on pool load, if pool is under DDOS or experiences heavy load, it will serve me less getworks per second and my workers efficiency will drop.
If I switch on a small pool and it will suddenly see an increase of 30 - 50% in hash power, they may start experience payment difficulties if pool has a small wallet. I would like to avoid this.

I'm mining on it now. It's never been down lately. Try using the latest CGMiner.
