Unless you have big power, any of those chinese pools are going to pay very poorly. I switched my miners back on today, and lucky I got in on 3 blocks found today after a slow painful week.
I've been mining another currency at the moment which when converted to BTC pays better than mining any of those junk chinese pools.
If you support those chinese pools(f2pool, ghash, btc china etc) you're part of the problem btc is facing. Get out of there.
What other currency are you mining? |

No, not close. Not even chinese-ish. |

If you have 1thash of power, your payout from f2pool is 0.01097974 per day. With 1thash on power on Slush you will make the same amount with 3 - 4 blocks, depending on pools power and the luck. Apart from the last week, and only the last week, I've made approx .03 - .04 btc per day from Slushs pool. This is not even over a 24hr period. From BFA you will stand to make .012 btc per day and that is not including the bonus if I recall correctly. Sure power to pay scales the higher you go, but like I said, for a small user, you will be slaughtered with power bills running a miner 24hrs a day to earn <$2.50 USD per day. For what, a pool which quite likely insta dumps the btc they find. The pay on Ghash.io is also far too poor to be effective. Honestly I've had better overall luck at MMpool than I have at any of those big dominating pools. Sure you get consistency but its such minute amount its not worth it at all. I may have made a mistake about ghash.io being a chinese pool, I bought two miners from a local here(who was chinese) and he mined ghash.io because "they're a chinese pool". It took him 6 months of mining ghash.io 24/7 with 2.25thash to break even with his miners cost, this does not include power. This was factoring in my purchase off him too. I've read here many times that those Chinese pools are a problem. I don't think btc is being treated the way it was intended to be. Its severely abused. Especially when you can find miners being dumped on eBay from China as "Brand new" when you know they have been thrashed and run non stop for who knows how long. |

Well I'm out on slush pool for now.....except for the week or so of the paycoin POW (at 10x BTC at the time) have been with them from Oct 18th 2013 with my KNC 550gh Jupiter and made almost exactly 50 btc as a result (still holding boy I'm dumb) anyway just shut it off on Jan 18th 2015 (could run it a bit longer made a dandy space heater!) but even with that just don't fly to run vs 15c kwh elec anymore at these prices and difficulty I'll probably come back IF and I mean a big IF I ever home mine BTC again ..it does not seem likely anyway thanks slush hopefully will catch your pool again on the rebound in the future with something new btc equip wise Searing p.s. I'm sure my 550gh I have just 'yanked' will increase everyones profit from my *ahem* adding to the drop in difficulty 'your welcome' lol  |

I haven't read anything about Chinese pools being bad. In fact, all I hear about AntPool, for example, are good things. I could be wrong, so can you post some links you mention reading (about Chinese pools being a problem)? |

Unless you have big power, any of those chinese pools are going to pay very poorly. I switched my miners back on today, and lucky I got in on 3 blocks found today after a slow painful week.
I've been mining another currency at the moment which when converted to BTC pays better than mining any of those junk chinese pools.
If you support those chinese pools(f2pool, ghash, btc china etc) you're part of the problem btc is facing. Get out of there.
What other currency are you mining? I would guess he/she is mining any new pump and dump coin that pays more bitcoin than just mining straight bitcoin. Example would be Paycoin which netted 10 times normal bitcoin payout for the week or two it lasted. |
