HOW TO CHANGE DIFFUCULTY OF ANT MINER S5

[VirosaGITS]

I have overcome my problem by changing the port settings.As far as I know Bitmain pools are giving the highest (reward).My third pool is Slush's pool.It is not convenient to talk about pool profitability under this topic, but I would very much appreciate if there is a more profitable pool.

Like i said, Antminer pool has lower payouts because they keep all Tx fees. Which mean a pool that take a small % will have better payouts. Its okay to check the %fee but you need to check what they do with Tx Fees which Bitmain cleverly keep and say they take 0% of the hashrate.

For instance its possible for a block to have 1 btc of tx fee in it, if they keep it that mean they kept something like 4%. So no they don't have the highest reward at all. Tx fee could be easily 2%, i'm not sure of the average however.

I recommended to try Kano and judge for yourself. What is your second pool?

I am familiar with electronics but definitely a newby about pools.However, nalysing the link below I think antpool performs and distrubutes higher.If you can share your earnings in a defined period, lets say past week and the week ahead we can compare results or we can follow a procedure you recommend.I am not defending antpool and ready to learn more and earn more.Every help and recommendations about pool selection is accepted.Thanks in advance for sharing your knowledge and experience.

There's a thread that show antpool pay less, for most likely the reason i said. Antpool does NOT payout tx reward. It's in the pool section, let me know if you can't find it. You're free to use antpool but you will have slightly lower payouts overall and you are helping china centralizing BTC hashrate.

Sure i dug it up for you. This show the difference based on actual payouts over X time. You'll see how significant antpool's fee. And on tap of that if you mine for antpool you support centralization of the hashrate.

Looking at the data I am confused by your conclusion. To me it looks like Antpool is the best, closely followed by Nicehash and the F2pool lags a bit, Kano is not comparable as it's a different payment scheme / much smaller pool.

Your concern about centralization is a true and serious one, and a threath that everybody must be aware of.

I have analysed the results.If the pool is big, their performance is more stable.On the otherhand if the pool is small it can perform better or worse compared to others, on the long term their income will be nearly the same.

You are right about extra payments.I change my second pool to Kano.

Very nice

Yes Kano takes 0.9% so its lower than "0%" minus 100% tx fee. Also Kano's pool is highly optimised code with a very low orphan count. So if we could get the hashrate there back up, we could have more "stable" return. But regardless, its been doing very awesome since i joined. After the 666.666666% block anyways
