In a few days (hopefully) the first batch of Avalon ASICs will be delivered. The question that bothers me at this point in time is, how to I mine with them in the most efficient way, the reason being,its those very first days that every bit of performance counts.
Do I solomine or point to a pool (which pool would support this in the most efficient way)?
If you're a risk taker - mine solo. But expect to wait up to several days to find a block. If you want to play it safe, mine PPS (pay per share). It pays you for every share.
You can mine PPS at a pool with a very low fee like
