hi, i am thinking of starting a big mining pool like hash-to-coins.com.
Do you think i can earn much with it, how much per month if so?
And wich script do you suggest? CoiniumServ , Unomp or another?

And are there other things that i need to know?

Judging from what you wrote you are pretty new to this, so I can tell you right away chose something else to do. Anyway to answer you questions.


Pools earning are percentage based, so your earnings will be based on number of users mining


Big pools are running their own custom made scripts. If you chose to run pre-made script, you will be just like 1000 other pools


Should be experienced in server management. Running a pool is not that easy, if something breaks and inexperienced guy like you is running pool, how do you expect to fix a potential problem ? Other thing, there are thousands of pools now, why would someone mine on your pool ?

Do not create what is already there. Create something of your own, original and successful to you!

tnx for your answer, you are right, maybe i have to think twice , if i do it or not

you mean a new script for mining pools? not the already known scripts?

for example http://aikapool.com/ also uses mpos, and is successfull ,or?

Is it a bitcoin mining pool you wish to start?

no, i was thinking of a pool like scrypt pool or gpu mining pool.

So my suggestion from miners perspective.

Would suggest staying away from big coins as there are minning pools for all those coins and noone will need new pool. Eitherway you will be tied to luck with low hashpower. Primary "markets" for you would be:

1) Like several other pools scouting each day Altcoin ANN thread and adding pools for coins. Including crappy ones.
2) Pools for older forgotten coins which sometimes are very profitable but there are no pools on them. Also Yobit bots sometimes pump old coins and they can be profitable for several days-weeks.
3) Be fast and get pool online for coins after forks or change of algo. Some pools don't update their wallets/nodes and thus can't be used to mine on new chain.

Continuing on 1st comment, as i often mine shitcoins would like decent pool which uses MPOS or at least YIIMP so i can see stats, nethashrate diff. And all other stats they show. Opposite of Unomp which just show current hashrate of workers and rejects. Bad part of MPOS would be you probably have to use offline wallets or risk losing coins as it allows to set payout limits thus coins can be accumulate to quite big ammounts and be risk of theft.
