Which Bitcoin mining pool would you consider being the best?

[David Horton]

i would say slush's pool, antpool, bitfury works best for me

[VRobb]

Any pool that fairly pays the miners the txn fees.  So NOT antpool unless you like giving them extra BTC for no reason... 

[anthem]

i would say slush if you want to be paid on your hash rate as the blocks are found. . and for pplns - kano.is for what you worked on to get the block.

[BannedDK]

there are so many post about this, so just check them out by scrolling down a few inches 

[Rabinovitch]

IMHO the best pools are kano.is and jtoomim's forked p2pool. And yes - solo.ckpool.org also! 

[ImHash]

Unknown which is owned by unknown people I think we as miners should always keep changing our pools to avoid centralization, if we create a circle and go around it every month it can also help to boost the moral of small pools and giving them incentive to stay in the game.

I'd suggest Kano because he seems so nice and always polite with a calm manner so I like him.

I'd also suggest -ck pool because I like his avatar.

Besides they're not big as Antpool or other pools under control of Jihan Wu and their infamous gang.

KanoPool 100%!!! This no brrrainerrr!!!

Why? OK, I give you 10 rrreasons.

1. Fully trrransparrrent pool;
2. Best and most accurrrate statistics in worrrld;
3. Lowest pool fees;
4. KanoPool pays minerrrs trrransaction fees - currrently extrrra 17%
5. Zerrro fees on rewarrrd payouts;
6. Highest expected minerrr rrreward/rrreturn;
7. Best Bitcoin connected pool (rrreduce orphans);
8. Wide networrrk of serverrrs all overrr worrrld to help get Blocks out on networrrk as fast as possible - even inside China;
9. Pool code fasterrr than any otherrr pool code;
10. Many otherrr pools using KanoPool softwarrre!!!

I agree about kano being best, but I disagree about this one.  I think the current payout method is actually a disadvantage for miners, since the payouts are actually taking up valuable (at current transaction fees) space in the blocks.  I hope the pool soon switches to a method that pays out smaller payments every X blocks instead of every block and groups the payments.
This would also greatly benefit the users earning the small payments as the transaction fees to spend them can be quite high!

Personally I think my new ultra high performance, low fee, no-frills ckpool is the best, but its still new so its hashrate at the moment is very low. Otherwise it tops all the rest in performance, theoretical rewards, flexibility for miners of any size, and payout mechanism.

Fortunately the transactions included in the blocks are best fees first, so when a pool payout is included, it replaces the lowest fee transactions - which of course can include replacing other zero fee transactions, thus the effect is minimal.

The PPLNS payout system rewards miners based on the work they have done, when the pool finds a block.
That's how Bitcoin works. We get rewarded for building the Bitcoin blockchain.
Fair rewards based on Bitcoin's design.

It's not some random payout system based on some random luck of some small miner getting a high share and taking away rewards from the large miners, as a certain other pool thinks is a good idea and has stated as a supposed selling point of their pool

[CrazyRussianHackerBoom]

PPLNS payout system seems to be best and fairrrest system

Is anyone able to explain why otherrr systems are even existing?

What is wrrrong with minerrrs?

Arrre they a bit dumb? lol

[CrazyRussianHackerBoom]

OK Comrrrades!!!

We all have good luck and bad luck and in Russia everry day is blessing lol but could someone please tell me what is going on at KanoPool

OMG!!!

Which Bitcoin mining pool would you consider being the best?

Well, it is actually any pool that pays miner fees transactions correctly. That being said, correct computation costs come in. There are other mining pools that really has doubtful computations based on the final breakdown of costs. Thus, it depends on your need. I could suggest anything.

[bookstime6]

I'm not a serious miner, just hobby really.

Can someone suggest a pool considering that

1) I only have 33GH/sec and
2) I would prefer receiving small payments more often rather than waiting a long time for a chance at getting higher reward.

I'm currently on mmpool. My understanding is that it finds a block maybe 4-5 times per year, but when it does, all miners get at least a small bit of reward, and it's a relatively small pool?
