Title: Most profitable pool for 1 GH/s rig?
Post by: dykast on June 23, 2011, 12:28:26 PM
I keep switching between pools to figure out which one is going to give me the best bang for the buck.  And I just keep getting lost. Right now im on Eclipse as they have 0% fees and send emails or sms for free when a miner is down.  But they are only doing 30 GH/s and we have been on a block for 2 days.  Would I be better off with a bigger pool.  I still can't figure out the maths for proportional vs. slush yadda yadda yadda.

Any help is appreciated. :)

1. You may be interested in this (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=10038.0).

2. You need to be in a pool for weeks or months to be able to empirically determine its profitability.

3. The most profitable pool is probably Multipool (http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=17970.0), if you're ok with joining the dark side. Otherwise I recommend either slush or Continuum.

I also like deepbit.net, I've been using it for a while now and never had any downtimes. The downside is the 3%fee you have to pay at this pool.

The 3% at deepbit seems a bit much.
