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.

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

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?

[-Redacted-]

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.
