Right now im mining using Ethereumpool.co. Seems like a good pool. I also tried Alphapool, those guys gifted 1 ETH to all miners from yesterday. Difference is that Ethereumpool pays after you mine 1 Eth, Alpha pays out every 1 hour.
I mined on Alpha for 12 hours and didn't get squat. Prob not goin back there.
Hey guys,
AlphaPool Rep here. The reason payouts were so low over the past few days was because someone found a vulnerability and was taking advantage of it. We found it quickly, but defaulted to withholding their 'gains'. This had the effect of paying out ~1-2 ETH every block instead of 5 ETH. Of course, this was not intended behaviour. We have ~35 ETH in our wallet that we will be paying out to our miners tomorrow at 8pm PST. You can read a bit more about it here (

We apologize for the inconvenience the situation has cause, and we hope you return to AlphaPool!
