Title: BTC GUILD is the best?
Post by: general lee on April 18, 2014, 02:53:52 PM
Hello

I think that BTC GUILD is the best. But I am not specialist in BTC. Do you know any other good pools?

There isn't a 'best' pool.

In fact; it doesn't matter which pool you are in. The only thing you need is a bit of luck.

There are, however, quite a few pools that fall into the "worst" category...... :D

Any pool that has reliable & constant uptime with rapid customer support can be considered usable.

As already told, theres no "best".

What you can do is do compare some pools on following facts:

- Uptime
- DDOS-Protection
- Do they run custom software?
- Payout System (PPLNS,Prop...)
- Did they already payout?
- Support Speed
- How many Blocks they found
- User experience (Google for it)
- Financial Stability
- How long are they online?
- Do they successfull run any other coins?
- Security (Two factor auth)

And so on :), good luck with choosing your Pool ! :)

This comparison is what you need OP. Sometimes your pool find more blocks, sometimes others. In the end you get similar amount of bitcoins.

What do you mean lol?
Unless you get a huge ASIC farm, it is pretty much meaningless to do solo-mining now.

Is this a joke or are you trolling? You can't get any coins with solo bitcoin mining anymore. Unless you have 50-100 Thash mining capacity, then you have a chance.

+1
Plus check the two biggest pools then see the number of shares you get in a give period of time lets say 12 hours
then see how many blocks per day were solved in one pool and check the other as well
Difference is small specially if a pools has fees when the other does not, still the  difference is a round of shares at best.
Now Guild has email notification when a worker is donw when Ghash has for the total hashing (not so helpfull in my opinion)
Anyway as I said small difference.

 ::) weel, when  i see my graph with the Th/s  ... when you have 200Th/s, you find no block in single day.
with 600TH/s, it's better ... 1 block per day.  ;D

... luck ?
well ...  :D

Still has nothing to do with the profit, since mathematically, you still earn the same.
