Title: Column for Accuracy on comparison table?
Post by: FirewallXIII on July 07, 2011, 11:22:01 PM
Would anyone be interested in helping me compile information for a new column on the pool comparison page? It'd have info on how accurate the payouts are (ie. 2, 4,8 decimal places).

I can take care the actual page edit, I wasn't sure if there'd be anyone else interested in this data.

http://ozco.in pays out to full 8 decimal places


also be good if more pool owners/supporters added pools to http://mksv.ath.cx/bit/stats.php - it is developing into a useful tool for some ppl. making it more comprehensive would be great :)

Haven't added anything yet, have a few numbers, waiting till I can make a bit more of a substantial start to persuade people to add their own.

Or just remove them alltogether/cluster in 0-10/11-100/101-1000/1001-10000 GH/s (maybe with the respective "5"-numbers too, so "11-150/51-100/101-500"...)

"Exact" values are useless anyways there, unless there's something like http://bitcoincharts.com/markets/ that shows something like these 30 days sparklines with pool hashrates instead (and I doubt that would be easily integrated in a wiki page).

I'm not too sure about the relevance of payout decimals. The only reason some pools just pay out 2 decimals and keep the change for the next payout is that older bitcoin clients can actually loose that smaller amount afaik (not sure if it's an display issue or if it is really possible to not get that amount). It's not to get rich, but to keep their users from actually loosing money.

I'm willing to add this to the table Graet linked to. (It's mine). You just have to get people to provide me with the info.  People can post the info in the thread for it here: http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=12920.0;all

I don't have a wiki account, but I know that the x8s hashrate in that table is wrong. It is currently 123ghash/s. Feel free to update it. :)

Edit: Now it's 132ghash/s.
