At this moment i'm mining bitcoins on btcguild. I was wondering where you people are mining btc? Maybe you can answer the below questions?

1) What pool are you mining?
2) Why this pool?
3) PPS or PPLNS?

Thanks!

1) Mining at https://directpool.net
2) This pool is 1% fee and any donations are given back to the bitcoin community by funding new bitcoin projects
3) It's fully PPLNS

I fully support projects that are for making the bitcoin network stronger :)

Guild
Because I trust them.  Mining equipment is very expensive and do not think eleuthria is going to rob me.
PPLNS

1) Eclipse
2) Trying it out because of the horrible luck BTCGuild is having & the fact they switched to PPLNS only.
3) PPS

Guys, leave all pools and come to Ghash.io. No fees, quick PPLNS. This is the only way we can DEFEAT the new "unknown" pool showing up run by crooks, probably some manufacturers using the preordered asics to fist mine themselves before they deliver at higher difficulty in Spring.

Only ghash.io has any chance of defeating them and unlike these unknown anonymous pools who can do 51% attacks, ghash is non-malicious and public, a good BTC citizen and will never attempt such a thing

This new "unknown" pool/set of pools is disconcerning....

https://blockchain.info/blocks/Unknown. Found 31 blocks in last 24 hours and 22% of the network already

Someone can find it??

I'm on BTCguild since a long time.

Eligius seems not bad.

Hard to find the good one!  ;D

1)  Ghash.io
2) My friend is also mining there so I just joined him
3) PPLNS

p\s is this BTCGuild so good?

1) nastyfans.org:9332 (no signup needed, just use your BTC address as your username)
2) 0% fee P2pool node, helping support network decentralization.
3) PPLNS

Mining at Bitminter. Pretty much have always mined there, for a long time now. Great easy to use interface and just have never had any reason to switch.

how to know the best one ???

It all depends on what your goals are.  If you want steady payments without variance, go with a pool that offers PPS.  If you want to sometimes make more but have higher variance and sometimes make less, go with a PPLNS pool.  Just depends on what your goals are, really.

I'm keeping a better check than blockchain.info and I only have around 7.5% unknown. Nothing to be worried about, yet.

thanks,for reply can ask one more what is profitable coin one :)

Sorry, are you asking about altcoins?

I'm splitting my hash rate (1/3rd each) at ghash, eligius, btcguild ... The first two don't charge fees while the later is pretty stable. In combination, they get me a little over 50% of all the blocks. I'm experimenting with my apartments circuit. If it can handle it, may get a couple more ants and point some hash to p2p

I mine on BTCguild and Slush Pool.

Both pools are reliable. BTCguild has better SysOp communications. Slush was the first pool and works well.

BTCguild is PPLNS, Slush is it's own system.

I moved to GHASH because I couldn't handle the bad luck on the Guild anymore and the day I go to finally use PPS for this first time they remove it 6 hours later. :(

I've been pretty happy with my payouts so far, I'd like to see a comparison of Eclipse PPS vs GHASH

KNC?

Pretty sure GHash.io is PPLNSG (Pay Per Last N Share Groups) at 0%, not PPS (Pay Per Share).

As for myself, I'm on EclipseMC because it offers PPS and I want the most stability / peace of mind I can get. But I do have GHash.io set up as a failover pool.

I've got 5 ASICs and I'm presently splitting them between Slush(1) and BTCGuild(4).  I know that all mining should, statistically, produce the same result over the "long term" regardless of pool or even solo.  But I'm beginning to think that "long term" is a relative concept, and one that is becoming shorter and shorter.  The new "long term" may be a week in ASIC years.  In the last 7 days, the 1 miner at Slush has earned 26% more than ¼ of the 4 miners at BTCGuild.  :-\

Ypool,the most famous pool ;D
1.easy to use
2.high speed
3.The number of miners

not only PPLNS

This is an unusual usage of the word 'famous'? :)

Im new to mining and the day I switch to PPS BTCGuild stopped that so I changed to Ghash.io.

If I could find another pool that pays PPS I would switch now.

EclipseMC pays out PPS.  That's where I'm mining, atm.  :)

1. Slush
2. why not?

eligius is where I am currently mining. I was mining at ghash a few weeks ago but I noticed a little too much downtime for my comfort and with the website having more problems now I am glad I moved. Sure eligius has problems but my miner's shares are never lost and just delayed which is fine with me since I dont need to spend my mining profits in hours of when I get them.

I use f2pool to mine

it's very stable

I think it's pps

f2pool?

and is EclipseMC eligius? or those 2 seperate pools?

Cloud Mining for the WIN. I always test on cloud mining.

I will tip someone if they can help me find and setup in a pool that pays PPS.

Just go for Eclipse Mining Consortium: https://eclipsemc.com. The forum page is https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=16385.0

I had made a comparison spreadsheet of the existing "good" PPS pools some time ago. EclipseMC is still the winner. http://1drv.ms/1cbd4Xa

1. BTCGuild
2. That's where i fist start.
3. PPLNS

Pool fee is 0% ! GHash.IO SCRYPT Multi Pool is open for beta testing, if anyone is interested.(invite required)

I'm trying it out atm, looks good.

some nice user defined settings, such as:

• Convert mined coins to BTC
• Convert mined coins to LTC
• Do not convert LTC, DOGE, FTC, AUR
• Drop miner jobs when switching coins

The most active testers will be rewarded with GHS!

If anyone would like to sign up feel free to use referral ghash (https://cex.io/r/2/efc17/0/).

Much appreciated

F2Pool (http://www.f2pool.com/) is a Chinese pool, and some sites call it "Discuz Fish".

EclipseMC (https://eclipsemc.com/) and Eligius (http://eligius.st) are two different pools.

I have been hanging out on bitminter for quite sometime, I left slushes, late last year when he was having some payout issues, and a big string of really bad luck.... I have managed to up my hash in the last few months, but if I leave the minter, my hash doesn't get me crap anywhere else...I have less than 100 Gh/s right now, and am saving the bit pennies I get so I can get some better equipment later this year.....
  I move all my old 333 erupters to a Peercoin pool where they can get a better return. 
right now I have a cube, and 3 blades, with some antminer U1s mining BTC...If I get another cube or a couple more blades I will probably move my U1s to Peercoin.....
 I should have bought blades and cubes early on, it would have netted me more BTC, but I didn't have the Fiat at the time due to their high prices and demand, and now that they have become more or less obsolete I can get them for a decent price (even though I know I am overpaying on fleabay, sometimes though I find a good deal).

is that discussfish pool ur talking of.

f2pool does have a LTC pool i think it's Pay Per Share (PPS), nicehash is pretty much selling the hash to other buyers.  https://www.litecoinpool.org/pools has the distribution of some pools - but note they are approximating things - and give their standard deviation in the text.
