Profit of changing pool

[Eikill]

I'm mining at 670Mhash/s on deepbit, and I earn about 1 BTC daily. How much would I earn if I were to change pool?

[dingus]

Roughly the same.

[EpicBacon]

You should earn about the same amount.

[Calavera]

If the pools have the same uptime then you'd earn the same at any of them, minus any fees of course.

More, if you'd change to Bitcoins.lc for example. The website also shows "Estimated earnings", so you'd know it after mining there for a while.

Depends on the pool of course. But back of the envelope calculation you would earn 1.13 BTC at Continuum in pay per share mode. More in the regular pool but with a higher variance. Other pools will yield different numbers. Just run your hashrate against the pool fees for each pool.

You should make around 3% more @ bitcoins.lc.....

Being that Tycho charges 3% fee for Proportional and 10% for Pay-Per-Share, you would make 3-10% more at a pool with no fees, of which there are several.

Okay, thanks guys! I'll probably change to Slush's pool then

You must have miscalculated something. If he is in PPS mode at deepbit, and changes to PPS mode at continuum, he'll get 1.056BTC.

Oh, and I wouldn't recommend slush's pool, as it doesn't support long polling (which basically every other pool does), so you'll get more stale shares, which means ~2% less income.

how consistent are the payout at the smaller pools though... or does it average out

bitcoins.lc -> 72.56 Ghash/s from 289 workers
slush -> 1010.868 Ghash/s

less hashing power = less shares
less shares = more of the 50 btc

Yes, smaller pools have higher variance. Unless they're PPS of course.

You could have a go at http://www.bitcoins.lc/ since the difficulty just changed and see if you make more than 1BTC (the pool doesn't take fees and supports long polling).
