I suggest p2pool but setup your own node. Until then you can mine at eligius at 0% fee.

What is the advantage of setting up my own node?

Yes you are campaining for p2pool and your node. I dont mind you campaining for p2pool. Everyone should use it. I just question your methods.

I also dont know where you get that pps with 7% fee is the most popular? Anyone with half a brain know that 7% is going to earn them 7% less then a 0% pool.

I accept that p2pool is the most efficent and morally best choice to mine but youre benchmark is meaningless especially when you compare lowest fee with highest fee on the market.

You can calculate all incomes (Newly Generated Coins) and compare to your own results on any other pool.



Fair enough, Im running 5 antminers on BTCguild. From Jan 1st to Jan 14th I have gotten 48 automated 0.1 BTc withdrawals . 4.8 BTC  in which is exactly how much you mined at p2pool over the same timeperiod.


So you earned .96BTC per ant miner in 2 weeks? Thats .068BTC per day. That's pretty awesome! Over the course of 31 hours I earned .043BTC, so you are earning over 50% more. Are your Ants over clocked? I am running mine at 400Mhz, avg 197Gh/s at a 1.9% error rate.

From what I hear, they don't verify it?  I think you can also claim you have more than a networth of 1mil. Maybe you were an early btc investor Wink

Haha. Nice, yeah I wish I was an earlier adopter  Grin

Have you contacted this list?
"Several of these IRAs – PENSCO, EnTrust, Equity Institutional, and Millennium Trust, are now listing the BIT as an investment option. "   (It's linking back to the SecondMarket BIT fund)

From what I read, to be able to purchase you have to make over 200,000/year and make a minimum investment of 25,000. I could almost make the 25,000 investment, but they would laugh at me when they find out how much a year I make Smiley I'm a Pastor

David - Has any progress been made on this? I don't have a big IRA, but I am getting worried that the G0vt is going to start seizing people's IRAs and I would rather control my IRA then the G0vt. Would love to hear where we are at with this.

look at my benchmark https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=416933.0
sure it will help to decide

Please do not believe this.

For starters this poster is affiliated with the elizium node.

Second he used the pps system on btcguild which has a 7.5% fee.

Third those numbers simply dont add up. According to these numbers p2p has almost mined 20% more, accounting for pps fee we are still over 10% more. According to pool luck stats this is impossible.

no problem - go to any centralized pool like btcguild and lose you revenue  Grin Grin Grin
that banchmark only shows practical (not theoretical) results and that is your decision what to do

The supposed benchmark shows only that youre a liar. What should I believe official p2pool.info stats or your word?

And who would run a test on a 0% pool vs a 7.5% pool to begin with? And then only for 2 weeks.

First - there is no lie - all results are public. Public statistic of mining stated in banchmark topik. And you can look at address that used in mining - go to blockchain, find all incomes and calculate that it's true.
Second - banchmark is continuous and there will more results every 2 weeks.

In any way do not mislead people. I'm also is miner, I'm was looking for right pool for a long time. I tested almost all known pools
I can say that only practical test will show you where you can mine more. Big pools in this context is not best. They are more stable and has less variance but you pay for that from your revenue. And the interest of pool operators of big pools is big too.

Thanks SEMaster. I received my Antminer S1 today and set it up on what seems to be a smaller pool I found on p2pool.info. Not sure how to tell if its a "good" pool or not. My biggest concern was not being prepared to start it working ASAP once it arrived. It has now arrived and it is mining. How do you measure if success in these pools?

So to setup my AntMiner S1 on a p2pool node I just select any from the list here: http://p2pool-nodes.info and then how do I create the miner for one of these pools?

You don't create a miner. Just use your payment address as username, and any password you want. The work you do will be paid to your payment address each time a block is found.

Awesome. Thank you!

Bismarckbkk - What is your suggestion? I have my Antminer arriving tomorrow and I want to be ready to set it up right away. Trying to figure out the "best" (although I understand this is debatable) pool to setup on and what I need to do to be prepared. Everyone seems to have a different idea, I just need to get up and running quick and would like to make a well informed decision. Plus I trust you more since you are bkk Smiley Ao Nang is down in Krabi. Giddyup!

Is there a link or suggestions on setting up the S1 on p2pool? Reading through p2pool it sounds like I would need another computer running the p2pool software on the network all the time. Is this the only way? I suppose I could setup a MacMini at my office to run it all the time, but if there is a way to set it up without that would love to understand/know how to get it set up.

Hey guys, I have made a couple of antminer videos that might be useful for getting your antminer setup as quickly as possible and also how to overclock your ant. Check them out here :

New to mining. Have read a lot and held coin. Have tried to figure out mining just for fun running BitMinter on OSX, but there wasn't really anything to figure out since it was all GUI and their pool is already set to it.

I am now awaiting my Antminer S1. Would love peoples thoughts on the best pool to run this in and how many workers I should be running.

Thanks for helping out this Newbie Miner!
