Title: Watch out for scam pools Post by: ongle on May 06, 2013, 02:53:04 AM Be careful about scam pools charging high fees. For example, the CNC P2Pool that CareBear is pushing is charging a 100% fee. You can see that by adding /fee to the URL:
http://192.162.112.138:8109/fee 100.0 By comparison, and not to endorse, p2pool.org's CNC pool is 2%: http://p2pool.org:9388/fee 2.0 Title: Re: Watch out for scam pools Post by: jomay on May 06, 2013, 06:51:31 AM Yes, I've never seen so many scam pools as for FTC and CNC.
Is there any website or any better way to find scam pools than to search on the forums? I think there should be a meta-website that collects info on mined vs. paid out etc. Or maybe even a "test" site that signs up to all pools, mines a bit and checks whether payouts are reasonable. I had bad experiences with http://chn.mnlan.net/ (payout very low, probably 10% of mined) http://chn.ub3rl3[Suspicious link removed]m/ (payout very low, probably 10% of mined) https://www.multipool.in/ (shows nice estimates, but does not pay out) Title: Re: Watch out for scam pools Post by: avantopia on May 06, 2013, 07:20:22 AM What is a good pool with a low fee?
Title: Re: Watch out for scam pools Post by: Fjordbit on May 06, 2013, 03:49:33 PM I like BTCOxygen. They've been working well with a low fee for me for months. The only thing I don't like is they don't have email/SMS notifications if your miners go down.
