I run a small Scrypt pool and I'm reworking what the pool pages show. Rather than guess, I'd like to hear from people who actually choose pools.
When you decide whether to point rigs at a pool, what do you look at?
- Hashrate and fee, obviously - but what else?
- Luck over time, or just recent blocks?
- How fast and how reliably payouts land?
- How much of the network the pool holds (does a dominant pool put you off)?
- Per-worker stats - which ones?
- Anything that made you leave a pool?
I'll post what we ended up showing once there are a few answers, and I'm happy to change it based on what people say here.
