Title: People's Favourite Pools?
Post by: tdahsu on April 10, 2013, 12:38:00 AM
Hi,

Just wondering what people's favourite pools are?  I was originally on bitlc.net (thankfully didn't have much on there right before they shut down) then I was on Mt. Red (way too much downtime and juvenile behaviour), and then I went to deepbit.net.

What do most other people use?

I've been using slush's pool and it seems to payout when it says it will and has a pretty straight forward interface.

Would love to see some more recommendations though.

Slush's pool was my first and one of my favorite pools!

I also use bitparking (I like the merged mining).
Coinotron is a favorite as well.
Not to mention P2Pool for BTC, LTC and TRC.  ;D

Oh yeah -- I forgot about that one! 
I like their Java mining program... works great with my BFL Single (FPGA)... but I couldn't get it to recognize the X6500's.

Does anyone use triplemining??  That is what I am currently on....curious what others thoughts on it are.

Slush's for BTC. He seems to always be ahead of the curve when it comes to software and being fair to miners. I'd probably switch to Mt.Red if I was running an ASIC 24/7 though. PPS with 0% fee is just too much of a good offer to decline.

Burnside's for LTC. PPLNS, no fees (although you are encouraged to donate) and excellent uptime.

Coinotron for TRC. Because there's no other active pool that I know of.

so my last payout from triplemining was .032xxxxx BTC.....whcih took about 3 days of mining to get. Would I get a better payout at a site that did PPS?? With my single card I mine at about 150MH/s...i did 2800 shares in a 24hr window. Thoughts anyone?

50BTC for BTC and Coinotron for LTC.  I've been on BTCGuild but switched because it's way too big !  I'll switch to another one if 50BTC turn to be too big in the future.

I've started with the evil empire known as BTCGuild, honestly I went in thinking that it'd be a good place to start since it had the highest userbase. I'll probably switch to a smaller one once I know what I am doing.
