How can I join a pool

[themessiah]

I am new and have been mining solo and was wondering who I can join a pool with and how? I would really like to join a pool so if you would like me to join yours let me know!

For litecoin, give-me-ltc.com is a good pool just go register and start earning.     If i helped i take donations listed in my signature

I've used BTC Guild (https://www.btcguild.com/) for a little over a year now.  They have multiple servers (almost never any downtime), fast payouts, competitive fee rate (PPLNS), and an easier to use interface.  Their 'help' page was useful as a first time pool miner. If I wasn't for them - I might have given up!

https://www.triplemining.com they offer good rewards and you make your own pool or group of miners. Honestly im minning slow and i got 0.0004 BTc in 1 night with 4.5Mh/s

There's lots to pick from. Check this list out:

As for the how, most pools have a website which tells you how, but in general you just follow these steps:

• Register on the pool's website and get your username/password
• Get the pools mining url (e.g. imaginaryminerpool.org:4321)
• Configure your miner with those options. E.g. in pooler's cpu miner, run it with the command line arguments below

Code:

minerd --user=username --pass=password --url=imaginaryminerpool.org:4321

Hi there guys. You'll be much better off and get much better results at a different pool.
Take a look at the pool stats thread. Triplemining is nontrusted pool. The operator seems to be keeping mined blocks for himself!!!
Try eligius.st with 0% fees or bitminter (with merged mining). Then compare your mining results!

The best way is to register a account then start mining

Mining for whom?
For yourself or for the pool operator?

Try another pool and compare!
