Pool suggestion needed (currently on BTC guild)

[cloverme]

So, now that BTCGuild is PPLNS, I'm earning far less that I was on PPS with pplns/pool luck being in the 80% range for the past couple of months.

I'm ready to explore another pool and need a suggestion for a stable pool, my miners are all SHA256 and I mine BTC.  Thanks in advance for suggestions (considering moving to Eligius).

If you have multiple miners, consider running your own p2pool node. It's not that hard to set up, and you pay zero fees, plus you get freshly minted coins with no history.  Also, since p2pool is truly distributed, you're immune to DDOS attacks and other such nonsense; you can literally switch to any other p2pool node (or run your own!) and keep all your earned shares, so long as you use the same payout address.  Alternately, if you don't want to bother with the setup, you can connect to someone else's p2pool node. There's a few nodes out there with no or low fees.

If your hashrate is not high enough, it will be hard to find a share with p2pool.

for information, the "luck" is in graphic in the P2Pool : http://p2pool.info/luck/
i'm moving to p2pool because of the many graphic available to personal mining ... now i can understand why i only receive 1,5mBTC with 12Gh/s.

on others pools, i haven't understand why.

eligius? or p2pool are great

I mentioned *something* was amiss with BTCGuild a few months ago but all I heard back were counterpoints from some previous era


It ain't 'normal variance' at all.. anyone with an ounce of pattern recognition would throw a red flag which is why I left when it was just shrugged as bad luck...  well, the bad luck is that something is amiss, not bad luck of hashing in a fair playing field

I would recommend Eligius and Slush - however going to try p2pool

What do you mean by that? Could you elaborate?

mdude has a cool p2pool node that pays out alt coins to the pool. I've set one up in Singapore also.

Feel free to use either. In my first three days on p2pool I got more than a coupl of week on Eligius. (caveat is luck varies).

Anyway's p2pool node or Eligius are pretty great.
