I was wondering if it makes any difference in which pool you join with your Asic as the MH/s will be high?

BitMinter will be ready for ASICs before ASICs ship.
In addition to GBT and Stratum, which are new mining protocols, using rollntime and variable difficulty should make ASIC mining over the old getwork protocol possible as well.

How would you use BFL equipment with Bitminter? Also what is "rollntime"? BitMinter will be ready for ASICs before ASICs ship.

I'll probably end up mining with HHTT - I actually like the idea of having 100Gh/s of hardware sat working on 2048-difficulty shares or some such thing  |

How would you use BFL equipment with Bitminter?
You can use BitMinter client, an easy to use GUI-based miner that starts by clicking a button on the website, or any of the other miners that will support BFL ASICs. Our miner supports BFL FPGAs today, and will support BFL ASICs as soon as possible. Also what is "rollntime"?
GBT (getblocktemplate) and Stratum are new mining protocols. Sadly, we have ended up with two competing standards. rollntime is an improvement on the old getwork protocol (which most people are still using). It allows the miner to create new work by fiddling with the timestamp in the block, instead of constantly asking the server for more work. Variable difficulty allows the server to set a higher target for proofs of work from miners, also reducing the constant chatter. Without using these two features of the getwork protocol the new ASICs would create a lot of network traffic and extremely high load on the server. Variable difficulty is also used by GBT and Stratum. Their advantage over getwork for ASIC mining is that they give the miner a template for a block which enables it to generate more work by itself than rollntime does. |

For the love of network bandwidth, something that offers >1 difficulty shares.
I think Eclipse has difficulty 32 which is pretty neat.

I'm more concerned about stratum support than diff >1 shares. |

p2pool should be ready now too. Users can select the difficulty they work on for quite some time.

In general, the large pools are bad in terms of support decentralization,
I recommend the use of medium-sized
such polmine.pl which supports GBT

Maybe not the best example for a pool to use. Remember when they stole from their miners? https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=50779.0For some reason some people keep mining there. |

So it looks like not many pools are ready for ASICS?
The ones that are will leave the rest behind..

if ASIC are getting delivered tomorrow, yes. BUT as ASIC will not be here until December sometime (at earliest)... plenty of time  Personally I think this thread is rather premature. |

According to BFL, shipping will begin in 2-3 weeks.. People need to be ready to milk those asics So it looks like not many pools are ready for ASICS?
