Title: Ghash vs Slush's Pool - Daily income differences.
Post by: thedreamer on March 03, 2015, 05:32:05 AM
I just recently started mining and equipment is arriving over the next week or two.

I'm running just under 1Th/s on both pools (1Th each), but see a quite different income on both.

On Slush's pool, today's income was roughly $4.10, Ghash was $1.11

 ???

Ghash has large fees I believe..

Different mining pools have different variance.

When I check the fees, it shows as no maintenance fees as the rewards are added to my account.

You need to include variance in your calculation - like most pool comparisons around here - variance get's ignored and makes the comparison completely meaningless.

So e.g. if there was a day when slush didn't find a block for 24hrs, your payout would be $0 and if you compare that to $2 then a pool paying $2 is quite literally paying infinitely more payout :) ... infinity is a big number ... but yeah oddly enough that doesn't mean much.

ghash has very poor luck latelly, if you compare the hash power of the biggest pool has for istance 60phs and ghash the half of it the btc blocks of ghash compared to the biggest pool is not equally half but at least 30% less...
In every pool even if there is so much money passing there is no control / audit NOTHING
even the best pool has never published any results profits losses or financial data and probably
there is a good reason for this.

so dont search for accuracy this is the case
I have after one year of mining separated the rigs on many pools to reduce variance...
and some I have thrown black stone...
