Title: MiningPoolHub vs Zpool : fun facts Post by: plgod on January 07, 2018, 10:13:39 PM Important facts bolded, tl;dr at the end
Hi people, new account here! I recently got into GPU mining, and I started off mining Zcash on Flypool, but since I'm a bit of an optimization freak, over the last weeks I've been questing for more profitable ways to mine. With what I know today, it seems to be that profit switching is the best option, and for that most people (including me) turn to multi-algo pools. It's obvious NiceHash will be the least profitable but MiningPoolHub and Zpool are two good candidates for the most profitable mining system. There's another thread on this forum (first result on Google) where the author runs a 7-day profit comparison test between these two, and according to the results Zpool wins by a factor of ~5%. I dug a little deeper to find out the specific differences between the pools that could cause this. I don't pretend that it is a complete analysis but simply a collection of facts and data I collected.
This means that Zpool is better if you're constantly switching to the most profitable algo, while MPH is better if you're manually choosing what you mine or if you use daily averages for auto switching (therefore switching less often).
On MPH, you're better off using averages if you're doing auto profit switching, since you want to mine what is most profitable *on average* instead of switching to the coin that just happens to be most profitable when you refresh. *N.B. My logs show that every once in a while Zpool's stat don't update for ~20 minutes. Could be on their side or maybe they just got tired of my tests and me querying their API every minute :)
tl;dr: I don't pretend this analysis is complete, but Zpool seems to be most profitable for fast algo switching to exploit the network difficulty variations, and MPH is best for manual or slow automatic switching, and also kinder towards the cryptocurrencies since it won't destabilize them with many people constantly hopping in and out of them. Hope anyone finds this useful, and please don't hesitate to voice yourself if you disagree with something or have something to add![/list] Title: Re: MiningPoolHub vs Zpool : fun facts Post by: kokyew on January 08, 2018, 03:15:49 PM May I know what mining software are you using and which algos did you mine?
I too find that Zpool is slightly more profitable but I prefer MPH because of their system stability. Just my personal experience.
