That's what I thought. Both pools are large enough to have the earnings level out. So unless one of the pools is really unlucky for a whole month, it doesn't really matter which pool is joined. But since we have a 1 out of 5 chance to win 550GH/s mining on Bitminter, I'd choose Bitminter.
no the chance is about 4 or 5 out of 233. that is about 1 or 46 or 1 of 50. still a very nice prize and not terrible odds. Oops :p, forgot a '0'. Edited my post. My opinion remains the same though. Our earnings are the same on each pool, but we can win something on bitminter. |

Transactions must be included in a block to be properly completed. When you send a transaction, it is broadcast to miners. Miners can then optionally include it in their next blocks. Miners will be more inclined to include your transaction if it has a higher transaction fee.

I think since our hash rate is a fair size it's much more important how reliable this pool is. You're not very likely to win the miner even with our hash rate, the likelihood is about 4%. We should really balance that against any possible downtown, it's pretty easy for a bad pool to cost us any possible gains.
Bit minter is ok but btcguild has always seemed more reliable.
Either way I own a few shares in R11 and I'd rather stay put for now, I don't think we have to gamble here. But if other people really wanna gamble for the miner I won't protest too much either.

I say we give BitMinter a shot.
I have minimal shares in the rounds in question however so any loss from switching pools or luck is miniscule for me

When I was younger we didn't have behavioural disorders. They called it "being a brat". It was as simple as that!

You will lose some coins when you switch due to the way pplns works. You could have half a day of shifts before your back to full payout again.

Thats one reason to wait a bit. But I have to ask don't you keep getting paid from btc Guild as the average drops . If I mine at bitminter for 24 hours in a row then my power goes out my payoffs slowly decrease even though I no longer am hashing. each hour they drop 1/24 until a day is up they they are at 0. so moving out of bit minter does not cost instantly it slow reduces. is not that true of btcGuild? |

Yes. The shifts at BTCG are about 45 minutes long, and there are 10 active. You would be getting paid for a decreasing number of shifts on BTCG while being paid for an increasing number of shifts on Bitminter. It should pretty much be a wash, income wise...

Ship date of won KNC miner is unknown.
I say mine now as hard as we can with current difficulty without changing the pool, my vote as owner of 10 shares in R5 is NO.
