Best mining pool for beginner from Europe and how ping affect on minig?

[bekonik]

Hi,
Newbie in mining so I have questions before choose mining pool:
1) How ping to mining pool affect on mining?
For example: to kano.is I have 130ms, to antpool.com 5ms, so should I worried about higher ping?
2) If less ping is important could someone recommend any good pools with servers in EU?

First, welcome to mining.

Second, do not use antpool.  No saving on ping is worth it.  Some pools that have EU servers:

My own pool (EU stratum: eu.stratum.bravo-mining.com)
Kano (fr.kano.is, dk.kano.is and de.kano.is as far as I know)
Bitminter (eu1.bitminter.com)

If you need any help, I'm glad to offer it.

Thank you for reply.
Please tell me if will be difference between this EU servers which you write in latency is this important or not? For example difference in latency 20-30ms have important impact in mining?

Yes there is an effect, however it is minimal and not something you really need to worry about.
