How do you determine which Pool is best for you

[Nomadz]

Hi,
I have my CGIMiner configured and running at 450 K/Hs (1 x Gigabyte R9 270 GPU) and now looking at how to determine which is the best Pool to join in order to mine either LTC or Multipool.
Apart from no fees as a preference, what other features/pool size/miners should I be looking for?


Does pointing the CGIMiner to the closest Server make a difference or does the Hash rate/size etc take preference?

Could someone please list out things that we should be looking for when comparing one pool to another. There are so many pools out their it is hard to decide whether I should go for a popular one with hundreds of Miners or go for a local server in or close to Australia.

Regards Steve

Stop mining Scrypt ^^" Take a look around, there are loads and loads of new algos which got no competition from asics (X11 and family have FPGAs though).
Best pool is the one with lowest reject rate, lowest fee and lowest scamlevel

Australia have high electricity charges. You earn more shutting down..

I usually take a pool that I have good experience before.
Then I check that pool has at least 5-10% of total hashrate (for frequent blocks finding) and lowest fee.

I determine by best pay on scrypt.  With you using a graphics card i highly suggest you to change from straight scrypt as it cant compete against asics.
