Title: How do I mine with my Avalon ASICs?
Post by: Kumala on December 26, 2012, 08:23:48 PM
In a few days (hopefully) the first batch of Avalon ASICs will be delivered.   The question that bothers me at this point in time is, how to I mine with them in the most efficient way, the reason being,its those very first days that every bit of performance counts.

Do I solomine or point to a pool (which pool would support this in the most efficient way)?

If you're a risk taker - mine solo. But expect to wait up to several days to find a block. If you want to play it safe, mine PPS (pay per share). It pays you for every share.
You can mine PPS at a pool with a very low fee like http://hhtt.1209k.com/ (http://hhtt.1209k.com/)  If you choose a high difficulty like 512, you will only pay 1.0625 percent fee.

Look for a pool that supports Stratum or GBT if you want the most efficient use of ASICs without worrying about the pool being too slow to send you new work.

24 days. You got some time for more information to be presented about how these will mine.
