I'm finishing a custom mining pool with a lot of new features that other pools doesn't have, coded from scratch, that I need to decide where would be the best geographical locations to focus the first servers on. It got an improved DDoS protection, and fault tolerant tecnology with no single point of failure, but the less latency for the majority of the users, the better.

Depends on the reliability of the server hosts. I'd rather have good uptime than a short latency.

yeah, uptime is the most important part indeed. I'll be using Amazon with multiple load balancers, either HAProxy or geo based ELB ones from AWS itself. Since the code is being thoroughly tested for maximum stability, the only remaining issue would be latency (that depends more on miners locations than on my code) Smiley
