I want to start mining ETH i want to use nanopool,
But i have heard that dwarfpool is much better,
is that true?

After a few Google searches, I found a lot of good reviews about Nanopool and issues about dwarfpool.

Took this from reddit:

I'm two months in on Nanopool and haven't had any issues and happy. The thing I can't figure out is since I've started, it continues to take 4-5 days to mine .2 ETH even though I've added 50 Mh/s (3 Gpus) to my rigs. 1 rig running 4 rx 580s on Ethos and another 2 1070s on windows for a total of 170Mh/s... I keep track of my earnings and back when I only had 1 rig with 3 RX 580s it was still 5 days. Anyone know what's going on?

And from Eth's forum:

Nanopool seems like a reliable earner, good stats per rig, etc..
With dwarfpool I could use my stratum proxy which gives a few extra % income (about 7%) so I am using that.

Anyways, I would just create a thread in the "Mining (Altcoins)" or "Pools (Altcoins)" board as people should be able to answer you better there.

I'd like to start some mining too, but there seems to be lots of stumbling blocks involved...
like, I've seen some applications, but also read some of them are definite things to avoid.

Anyone have a recommendation on which app(s) to use that would be useful for the widest range of coins?
Also - any good pools in Canada? Staying local would be nice.

they say that the pools are deceiving. how to check how much I earned and how much pool paid?

As long as the pool is reputed and the payout structure makes sense, you shouldn't worry about that.

I use ethermine asia pool.So far good and stable no issues. I heard nanopool has doubled the shares difficulty.
