Title: Pool efficiency Post by: Coma on June 10, 2011, 03:17:30 PM Is it possible that a pool might be more efficient mining than other?
I mean, deepbit charges a 3% fee. But if it's 3% more efficient than any other pool, it should be theoretical the same to use a no-fee pool than deepbit. But what if deepbit is 5% more efficient?

Better coding is what I'm takling about. But does this only reflects on stale shares?

I don't know a pool where this is a problem though, so.. ??? |
