What do you think that is the best mining pool?

[Nik1ab]

Just wanted to hear a few oppinions 

[fraenk]

in my opinion SLUSH... i am mining with a meezely 500MHash and i make 0.02 per day on avarage there... i tried bitminter, too... no good and gave me only about half of that per day...

for the sake of balance on the network i refuse to try btcguild or 50btc

Hi all,

where can i find a good comparisson of the diffent pools?

i tried "https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Comparison_of_mining_pools" but i couldnt find the best pool for beginners.

what do you think?

so long,
 tux

I haven't found a good comparrison either, so I'm asking for oppinions of other miners 

[fraenk]

i suggest you should try different ones for yourself.

there are significant differences how the payout-schemes will work for your purposes.

For me, i found the payout mechanism of slush to reward me twice as much than the other pools.

slush's payout is explained in detail here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1976.msg50002#msg50002

Wait you mine with 500MHash and only get $0.02/day? How long do you mine for every day? I have a 20MHash GPU and get $0.10/day mining GPU at coinotron and I get $0.20 a day CPU mining LTC (at 40KHash) at coinotron. Give or take, since I only run it like 10 hours/day in my laptop so these are estimates for 24 hours a day.

Or were you referring to 0.02BTC/day? I just realized that and that would make much more sense.

i should add that everywhere, where there's a 50 in the formulas, you need to replace that with a 25 because the per-block on the chain rewards has halved since then

That was BTC/day of course and it's actually almost 0.025 ... but still, that's not even covering the electricity-bill the mining produces

a 20MHash GPU?! Are you trying to mine on a GeForce?! Don't waste your time or money mate! never mind, that was LTC

[Nik1ab]

Any other oppinions about that?

[Spjer]

i think it depends on, which coin you want to mine ?!
Me just started WDC at wdcpool.erundook.net 

The Pool works fine!!

[f4k1e]

btcguild imho at least i'm there

[Nik1ab]

Standard bitcoins generally 

[reich]

P2P pool

[madmalkav]

Triplemining. 0% fees, PPLNS, and the Jackpot and minipools features are great, and the IRC channel is a nice place to hang out and have a little chitchat about cryptocurrencies.

[extbt]

how will a layperson ever understand any of this

[aymar_est]

As for the altcoins i'd recommend http://***.dontmine.me. There "yac" and "wdc" subdomains so far.

[Nik1ab]

Anyone else?

Is wdc a different type of cryptocoin or just the name of a new pool?>

[btan887]

[tabbek]
