which is best pool for mining monero?

Dwarfpool.

I wonder why so categorically?

I've been using them from the start. Rock solid, no stealing of shares server-side (other pools are doing it), geographically spread etc etc etc.

why mining monero???

Likewise.  I mean it depends on are where you are.  Pinging Dwarf vs. Monerohash for me is longer and Dwarf charges 2% instead of 1.6% so guess where I am?

Monerohash is TINY compared to dwarfpool. Dwarfpool has a proven track record for years to be trust worthy and has ~30% of the XMR network. That means frequent luck, payments and their functionality is solid. But by all means, don't let logic stand in the way of choosing an inferior pool for 0.4% (it's actually far more in the favor of dwarfpool due to their size)

I don't dislike Dwarfpool, I have used them extensively for ETH, but I was chiming in on the "categorically" post.  Your comment about "logic" is insulting and implies that you believe that larger is better in regards to choosing a pool.  As any miner should know, diversification of pools is critical for the health of any cryptocurrency and your post actually reveals a lot more about your lack of logic.

Oh, but I do.

You're making assumptions about my logic. I'm questioning yours as you stated: "Dwarf charges 2% instead of 1.6% so guess where I am?"
If you didn't care about profit and only wanted to secure the network, you would of stated it from the start. You based your reasoning publicly about profit.
Most people (tm) are in it to make profit. Larger pools (typically) give you that.

Anyways, each to their own. Categorically my answer is still dwarfpool. Tried, trusted, large and pays well.

I don't like dwarfpool too. Example: one of the farms - 3 x RX480 - 2.2 Kh/s claymor. On dwarfpool - current approx.speed 1.88 XC - profit 0.3260000 xmr for 24 hours. On minergate.com 24 hours - 0,3560000 xmr

I just set up my RX 480 8GB but I'm getting just 620H/s mining Monero. The temperatures also seem to be lower than full load. Full load would be around 75-80 degrees Celsius but right now they are around 68-70.

The Zcash miner works as it should, getting 225-230H/s, card gets in full load. Any clues what it might be? I did set the gpu allocation percent to 100 so I really can't tell what it is.

You cannot measure gpu load via temperature for different algos. Just look at load in GPU-Z.  Also monero is cooler than zcash. Moreover your result is completely in line for the stock card.

As usual for the RX 480. It is possible to be improved, but not significantly. When optimization crims 16

Sapphire RX480's (8GB) you can push to around 760 h/s fairly easily.

Larger pools DO NOT give you more profit. You'll earn exactly 0.4% less over time on dwarf pool.

Yes, Dwarfpool WILL give you more profit than that tiny pool over time.  Perhaps you have some learning to do yourself.

In theory if pool fees are identical then profits will be identical also.

Depends what your goal is. To me,  I typically want to get paid as soon as possible. XMR (and other alt coins) have been bouncing around a LOT in value. Not only can you get really unlucky when on a small pool (look at their stats), but you can also get paid when the XMR (or other alt) price is in the ditch (and most of the alts have been trending downward drastically).

I mine and sell to keep everything in BTC. Therefore I want to get paid often and even out the (un)luck factor. If i was going to mine and keep, I would choose whatever pool had the best/lowest fees.

Is my logic incorrect?

You're actually wrong. Soloing, for example, over an infinite time period, will give you exactly as much as Dwarfpool + their fee.

That is if you want to mine and hold, correct? That is not factoring if my goal is to sell for BTC?

[Hotmetal]

If you want to get paid NOW, then big pools are better - but it has no effect on the revenue denoted in the coins mined.

Would someone be so kind as to post recommended optimal "-h" settings for RX470 4GB GPUs?  I am running a 5-GPU (not bios modded yet) rig of them with "-a 2".  Default -h setting of 1024 gets me about 2860 total hash-rate (~570 per GPU).  However, when I tried increasing that to 1280 last night, it actually resulted in a lower hash-rate of about 2500.  Is there a sweet spot for these cards?  I also have 1 8GB 470 on this rig. should I specify a higher -h value for it vs the 4GB cards?

Also, I think it was Wolf that mentioned 470's are capable of close to 800 H/s on Monero.  Would you mind sharing how you were able to achieve this?  On my other rig with 4x470 4GB (bios strap-1500 modded), I am able to get 690 H/s per card with under-volting, and core/clock settings of 1150/1950.  These cards cannot really be pushed past 2000 so there must be something else to do to get that extra ~100 per card.  Maybe it's the question I asked above about -h value?  If so, would the recommended -h value for strap-modded GPUs be any different that un-modded ones?
