Hmm? Which pool? Nicehash? Kano? Something else?

[bbOOmm]

Hard to believe that its almost been 2 years since I got into this hobby... it seems more like 10 years... with all the coins, pools, people and technology that has come and gone.

When I began mining, ( with Antminer U1's ... whoohoo! )  I mined on Ghash... then there was something that spooked everyone and poof, it went from the biggest to a little pool.

I then switched to Slushs pool and mined there for pretty much a year. But the "bad luck" seems to be more prevalent at slushes pool than anywhere else. To me it,  it was beginning to feel like someone was skimming the blocks found and not paying out, chalking it up to "bad luck".... so I left.

I played with Antpool, but I got a weird feeling about that pool also... It didn't seem like I was mining, in fact, I never got a payout from that pool.

It was about that time, people were talking about Nicehash. I set up my S5's and my brand new S7  miners and I've been mining there for sometime now. Its ok. I like the frequent payouts. But, I'd like to see what else is out there.

I'll soon be in the 20-25TH range, I would like, at minimum, a daily payout and a detailed graphical display of my past mining performance.

Which pools are trustworthy, fast, efficient and pays out daily?

Well there has been so much about svp mining the last week, so most ppl will tell you to join kano.

I left slush for kano a week ago, and im really happy so far. Payouts Are much better to,  And dont Think you will get better support any other place.

OgNasty ... do people who mine at your pool get free OgNasty Escrow service?      (I've been looking at escrow services for some future purchases)

   Maybe someday there will be a NastyFans escrow service for fans and miners.  We aren't there yet though.

It's totally up to you to be educated and make a decision.

Everyone here has a preference based on their experience, knowledge, etc.

I'm at Kano, I was at Slush.

I'd have no problem trying a few other pools.

OGNasty's
JohnnyBravo's
Elgius
BTCMinter
etc

But I'd definitely stay away from the SPV pools (Antpool, F2, etc)

The problem you are going to have is the fact that you want daily payouts.

NastyPool pays out consistently but weekly.

CKPool pays when blocks are found (actually 100 confirms after block is found).

I personally use CKPool primarily with a little hash going to NastyPool.

The only way you are going to find daily payouts is on a PPS pool.

The only way you are going to find daily payouts is on a PPS pool.

But make sure you understand that going with PPS gives you a guaranteed payout at regular intervals that is almost guaranteed to earn you less long term than a PPLNS pool since all PPS pools charge a higher fee than their PPLNS variants.

I've been leaning towards Kano's pool .... I guess I'll try that.

Now only if Kano would put out an optimized firmware for the S5 like what was done for the S2 ..... ;-)

He says he'll get there, however he likely won't ever get there for the S7.

[marvykkio]

with 15 th / s you may have luck to find a block?

It get's very little press here and has no formal thread, but if you want a PPS pool, which many do because of the predictable returns and regular payouts... Then you should consider BW.com.

It has a 1% fee which is probably the lowest available and even has a slider feature that enables you to choose the % of your payout which is PPS & how much is PPLNS.

They also have Deposit Account which pays 0.02% daily interest (7.5% Annual) .

@bbOOmm

Feeling like something new    and I see you already tried your hand at Nicehash... well don't miss out on our cloud mining pool:

Cloudminer.com :: https://cloudminer.com

Cloudminer.com is trustworthy and has a very talented and dedicated team focused on maintaining transparency and growing transaction fee full and not SPV based blocks. We utilize secured multisig wallets from Bitgo.com and we support Bitcoin Core and the P2Pool project.

Cloudminer.com is a tested platform for low variance stratum mining with a detailed dashboard for historic payouts and mining performance.

When your not clustering with other miners under a rental arrangement your workers collectively mine with the P2Pool network but unlike traditional nodes which calculate short lived payouts from the distributed sharechain, your accepted shares are saved in to our private share log until automatically paid out by the fair and most profitable payout method Capped PPS with Recent Backpay (CPPSRB).

Cloudminer.com use a scheduled round lasting 24 hours where the pool only pays as much as possible after unlucky rounds but later pays the difference after lucky rounds.

You can learn more from reading our FAQ

Enjoy.

I just switched to Antpool from Kano and make 20-30%more

I accept that in a long run, might need to be Weeks, you will make more on Kano than Antpool, however it will at absolute best be 3%. If you are going to make statements like this you need to back them up? Over what period of time was this 20-30% more measured?

That was a comment from a 1 post 1 activity member. They're generally not known for having the most informed or objective opinions on this forum  

[kano]

Well ... there's also the other glaringly obvious issue ...
He'd have to have actually mined on kano.is ... to be able to say ... "from Kano"

[fr4nkthetank]

I suggest mining at kano.is pool.  I find great stats, fast updates, good luck, and almost daily payouts.  there is some variability, but that's all good.

[RozoTheMiner]

I sent 1/2 of my hashing power to Kano' s and the other 1/2 to JohnnyBravo's.

[pj40]

I give kano 100% of my hash, and after yesterday, I definitely do not regert it!

No regerts!
