Mining pool features table

[willphase]

Bitcoins.lc pays the 0.01 transaction fee when paying out. In addition I believe that it is the only pool running proportional which pays you immediately a block is solved, no waiting for the 120 blocks to be solved.  Also the guy who runs it runs an ISP so it seems pretty stable infrastructure and internet confection.

Doesn't Eligius do that?

You should add the size of the pool to that chart to, like hashing power wise at the time of writing or w/e. I think that is something ppl might want to know when comparing. Good job btw!

Heres the proper information for BitClockers.com Bitcoin Mining Pool:

1% Proportional

We also have 3 pools combined in Denver, Chicago, and Czech Republic. We were the first pool to market with combined/redundant pools. Our website is cloud hosted, as well as our SQL database cluster. We also provide Live Support 24hrs a day. Our pool uptime is currently ~99.95%.


Side note: I cant figure out why BitClockers.com been around 100 GH/s, higher than some other pools listed on http://bitcoinwatch.com/, for some time now. Yet we're still not on the graph there. I guess

Thanks! I'm avoiding adding the size info for now because it's pretty dynamic, and the smaller pools are hard to track. I'll think about adding it in the future, though.  It's pretty easy to just give a link to one of the current pie charts out there.

Maybe somewhat of a substitute could be the formation date of the pool, if I can get people to provide that?

Bitcoins.lc has a "instant payout"-function. It's also WE that pays the transaction fee, please make a note about that.

Thanks, nice spreadsheet!

BTC Guild was formed on May 9, 2011.  Just celebrated our 1 month anniversary last week

Can you clarify? If you pay any transaction fee on withdrawal, then shouldn't you be marked as "none"?

Thanks, nice spreadsheet!

You're welcome!

I think I need some clarification on what people are calling "instant payout".

When I say "instant payout button", I am simply referring to a feature allowing the user to go to their account at any time and click a button (or link, or whatever) to request AT LEAST their confirmed bitcoins be sent to their wallet right then and there. If one can ONLY get confirmed bitcoins in this manner then I qualify the "yes" with "for confirmed shares only".

This is in contrast with what some might be calling "instant payout", where there is NO waiting period to confirm one's credited bitcoins after each block is solved.  I am referring to that as "no" on "share validation waiting period".

Maybe I am not using the consensus terminology here, but I think these are two distinct features that shouldn't be confused, and I'm still not sure if my info is accurate because of this discrepancy in terms.

Oh, and I just updated it again.

To clarify: The user/customer (You) does not pay any transaction fee when he/she requests a payout.
We do however add 0.01 from our own wallet to make the transaction go through faster. (Hence the INSTANT payout)

I'm not sure if we should be marked as none or not, but the user does NOT pay anything for neither using the pool or requestion payouts

EDIT:
We do not have any waiting time or unverified funds. As soon as the block is solved - the money shows up in your account

Now I'm starting to follow. I'm putting you down as "none" for transaction fee. Instead, it sounds like this practice of the pool attaching 0.01 to each transaction to speed up the payout is a feature that needs a concise name and a separate row.  Is this what people are generally referring to as "instant payout"?  If so, then I definitely need to revise my terms.

Since we are not a "canned" operation like some pools, we don't use pushpool. We wrote our entire backend, and therefore has a much lower stale rate than any other pool. Just ask our users

Fixed.
