Title: What pools have you been used?
Post by: pengcqu on October 19, 2013, 09:41:16 AM
I know several pools. What pools have you been used?

And Now, which pool are you using? what's your reason for choosing this pool?

We were.  More than half the pool was completely unaffected the entire time due to private servers.  Due to the continued attacks (instead of one burst then leaving), we also now have what is likely the most reliable DDoS protection/filtering available.  Within 24 hours more than 95% of the pool was back online, and within 72 hours we were faster than before the attacks started.  The entire time the pool was being hit by > 10 gbps worth of traffic for over a week straight, but the vast majority of miners were completely unaffected.

BTC Guild was ddos'd but very minimal impact on most users...just kept hashing away after the first wave they were right on it.

Too many people use it, it's easy to be attacked.

So, the safety of the pool is very important.

Slush is good, worked well for me with Avalon and Slush invented whole thing - pooled mining.
