Re: Mining pools list

[Tittiez]

Thanks Tittiez - you sure they're using slush's score? I'm having trouble following what's written on the website using Google translate:

Payment system is based on proportional representation with coefficient P2LS.

PPS is currently inactive and it is necessary to switch the miners PROP system.

It sounds like slush's score (which is a proportional payment system) but I'm not certain - do you have any details?

Translated OP (Thanks Google):

We introduce a new payment system on the server. So far, only briefly, later I'll throw more detail:
Basically this system, hoppers receive significantly less BTC if a block long before they leave the server. This difference is distributed to users who are non-stop on the server. Also, users who come to the end of the block can get much more BTC, so the net loss now if someone involved in a long block.
system is still good for hopovanje in very short blocks for inclusion in the second half of the block (just needs estimate when the other half).

Those are the clues which lead me to believe its score now.

This is great! A wiki of pool features is a much better idea than trying to lump them all into the OP, since anyone can edit changes as they occur. Hope you don't mind if I add a link in the OP.

Its been there forever, I cleaned it up and made it how your OP looked, split by reward types, but luke reverted it all and said discuss big revisions first.

Oh well. I'll start a discussion about it.

Well, thanks for updating the data, anyway.

I'm not so sure now that I have a bit more information.

sounds more like to kind of hopper tax btcpool has. If you manage to find out more details, can you post them?

Hmm... there is a ratio for block data on the site now too.

Just a quick warning to all miners - if a pool's reward method is not clear to you, do not mine there. There is probably nothing dodgy in BTCWarp's reward method, but until they publish details along with proper block hostory data.

Thanks os2sam - I'd forgotten Graet had reduced fees.

One request to add to the pools list:  Stratum/GBT Support.  Not overly important to most miners yet (except BFL Mini Rigs or massive farms), but it will be very important if any of the ASIC claims hold true.

Yes, I do want to add that and the pools that support var diff. Probably not this weekend though.

Suggestion for Variable Difficulty column:  Don't just put Yes/No.  Put 'None' on pools that don't offer it.  For pools that do, show the target share frequency (or "User-Defined" if applicable).  As an example, the BTC Guild variable difficulty target frequency is 15 SPM (Shares-per-Minute)

Good idea. I'll try to get it done during the week.

[organofcorti]

Updated, with the new columns requested by eleuthria. I have a bit more work to do, and I need to fix triplemining's details and a couple of pools are missing hashrates. These should all be fixed soonish.

Any other errors, please let me know.

[organofcorti]

Updated, new columns should be up to date and "GBT/Stratum" has been renamed to "Local work?" so p2Pool can be included. Everything else should be correct, but please let me know if there are any glaring errors.

EMC SPM is 20 - 28

[HotSwap]

I would also suggest information on which pools have merged mining.

Thanks for all the great info!

[organofcorti]

Fixed!

From your post I thought that was 20 - 28 averaged over three minutes - my mistake.
