Title: PPS VS PPLNS BTCGUILD
Post by: strideynet on August 25, 2013, 05:13:39 PM
Simple. Or is there a better pool. I am mining with one block erupter 24/7 with minepeon. What do you guys think??

PPLNS will give you the NMC merge mining as well.

With just one Block Erupter USB it really doesn't matter.  Just start your mining program, put a fan on the BE, minimize the program and forget about it.

I would probably solo mine with one device and check it once a year just for giggles.

Have Fun,
Sam

PPLNS is better if you're leaving it running 24/7.  You don't have to pay fees, and you get some NMC as a bonus. 

PPS is better if you're only mining intermittently, but you have a 7.5% fee, and no NMC merged mining.

Actually, I'm mining with just one on btcguild. It comes in handy for answering questions like "how much will I make with one of these?" i just look at the 24 hour earning number. Also, I payout every .05 BTC and use the time between payouts to calculate how long to earn 1 BTC. It is about 280 days at the moment. The numbers are rough because there is occasional down time, but i find it interesting just the same.

Oh FYI BTC Guild still charges a % for mining PPLNS its just not as high as PPS shares.

Has on website 3% for PPLNS and 7.5% for PPS shares
