Slush vs Deepbit

[EPiSKiNG]

I'm going out of town for the weekend, and I have two systems that get averages of ~630Mh/s...

One will be connected to deepbit, and the other slush.

Also open to suggestions on other pools, individual, settings, etc...

Will report back.

Please donate.

What is this?

Over the long run, you will be paid the same amount (actually 1% more on slush's because of less fees) by both pools. Any differences this weekend will be just based on "luck".

Maybe you'll get a little bump in your yield this weekend if the pool operators notice this post

Why not bitcoinpool? Only one without fees.

[jgarzik]

Well you get more if the pool operator pays extra, like BTCMine was doing recently.

Actually current stats show that it may be less on slush's because of invalid blocks.
(this can depend on luck too)

my issue with bitcoinpool is that they are simply too slow. 28 blocks can solve on deepbit in a day and I'll make 22 cents each block. bitcoinpool will give me a lot more but they solve way too slowly to actually rake in any coins. with the difficulty going up, I'd rather take a lot of mini solves compared to sitting around for a day and maybe getting a block on bitcoinpool.

actually, the average is getting closer to 6 hours per block, or 4 per day, and is growing

Everyone gets awarded for invalid blocks so they don't count.

Only in deepbit and bitpenny. Other pools don't give you reward for invalid blocks (the ones that don't pass confirmation).
That's one of the reasons why you have to wait for 120 blocks in those pools.

I started on Deepbit, Then moved to Slush's pool, Then back to Deebit because I found that I gained a higher volume of payout.

Im intrested in the results, Especially considering the taxes, However, I garuntee that i lost ß in Slush's pool due to me being a 12/7 miner rather than a 24/7 miner

doesn't slush not support LP either? so combination of LP and invalid blocks make the 1% difference in favor of slush's irrelevant.

Last time when i checked stats (~2 days ago) there were 1.3% of failed blocks of the last 1000 in slush's pool.
But this may be just an unlucky run.

What I meant was that in pools that accept invalid blocks, everyone's invalid blocks are accepted, so its just like rejecting everyone's invalid blocks; since everyone gets the bonus, its equivalent to no one getting the bonus.

You are talking about shares, not blocks. Shares don't need 120 confirmations to mature.

slush does support lp

No, he doesn't (unless it was implemented in the last 12 hours).

Ahh, you're right. Apologies to you my good sir.

He's a troll, whatever post I make he'll say the opposite to try to make me look bad. He goes as far to send me gross NSFW images in PM's
