Mining pool features table

[[Tycho]]

It's possible to request full-precision payment from deepbit pool via "instant payment" function.

What about on automatic payout? Does it send the exact precision out that you enter?

Automatic payment sends only down to bitcents. The rest is not lost, just stays on your balance until next try.

I can't know what bitcoin software is installed on user's PC, so I won't enable full-precision payments automatically for everyone. If some user wants it, he can just click the request button on the site.
And .XX payment looks better in the table :))

I'll update with this info soon, simplecoin. I've been working on other things for the past few weeks and haven't been focusing on the mining side of things.

Speaking of mining pool features, it looks like there is a new feature that I need to add to the table called "no invalids", eh?  Anyone care to provide a brief explanation of how this feature works?  Thanks!

Please add a row for pool-hopping measures or features. Not using hopping myself, so I would rather know how effective their methods are.

If you can post the info for me using the terminology of my table, I'll add it.  No disrespect intended here, it's simply that I've found that trying to track down the information individually for so many pools, and then translating it into the standard language of my table is MUCH more time consuming than is necessary.  I simply don't have the time to join every pool to figure out the features or read all the pages and pages of pool threads to track down the most up to date answers. However, if each pool expert can simply come here occasionally and give me their information in an organized post, I can easily add it, and everyone benefits.

It's been a little over two months, and I've finally updated it again. I'm going back to school at the moment, so that is why there's been a delay. I don't have much time now to research this stuff on my own.  If each pool owner, or people who use any one of the pools, would simply scan the relevant column on the chart and post the updated info here in the format and wording I use, it would go a long way to getting this thing filled in.

Updated.  Let me know if there are any new developments that don't match the chart.

I also noticed I'm now missing the following pools:

bitchomp.info
asspennypool.com
abcpool.co
nmcbit.com
cointron.com
masterpool.eu

It'd be great if people (preferably the pool owners) could post these pools' info in the table's format, and then I'll update it.
