Hi everyone, joined a little while back and have been lurking this thread for a few weeks now. Just mining with an S3 at the moment, mainly doing this as a way to get more familiar with mining in general.
First couple of weeks after I got the S3 was on Eligius so I have that one set as my 2nd choice for failover, mainly because I've already mined there. Interested in thoughts on that - seems that the payment system is set up as such that it doesn't really penalize for hopping pools and therefore seems like a good choice for one that I only intend to mine at for very short amounts of time if CKPool drops out? (I realize there are potential political conflicts that I haven't had time to read up on, sorry if I'm being ignorant here!).
Otherwise, I'm intrigued by using the German CKPool as a failover - that seems like a fantastic option. Currently have Slush as my 3rd option.
Otherwise, hi everyone! Thanks Kano - I'm really happy to have found this pool! It may have taken me took me a few weeks but I'm pretty sure my S3 has found it's "forever home" haha!
Welcome aboard. I use kano, cksolo and bitminter. Promoting small and good behavior pool make sure Bitcoin stay decentralised and base on community.
