Which pool will yield the most bitcoins?

[Muhammed Zakir]

If you're looking for a pool, I'd recommend you look at the pool comparison page which you can find by searching and then find one with low fees, a good interface, and one that's reliable.  Do not go with Ghash please as they are up to something no good, IMHO, or else are just really greedy and don't care about BTC.

IMO it is better to go with Slush's pool @ 2% fee. Now Discussfish is 2nd largest pool but you will have to mine in it at 4% fee.

Which pool would better :
1) Mining in a pool which finds blocks fastly @ 4% fee .
2) Mining in a pool which finds blocks in a time( neither faster nor slower ) @ 2% fee .

I excluded Ghash.io as it doesn't seem good.

2) would be the best.
If you join a pool which find blocks every day, you are likely to experience lesser payouts but in the long run, you should get around the same,more frequent blocks equals less payout per block but less blocks equals to more payout per block. In fact, the pool with lower fee will win the other pool with higher fee.

Find a pool that has no fee is the best.

Find a pool that has no fee is the best.

And one that still does PPS, if there are any of those anymore

So a pool that has no fees and 2% orphan rate, 1% reject rate and 0.5% downtime is better than a pool that has a 2% fee, 0.1% orphan, 0.1% reject and no downtime?

So a pool that has no fee, 0% orphan rate, 0% reject rate and 0% downtime is the best... Do we have such pool?

NO!  It takes a lot of work - essentially a full time job to run a pool that has very low rejects.  The orphan rates also depend on how well coded the the pool is and how good their servers are (money can buy better servers).  Downtime again is up to the pool OP working.

Different hardware will work differently on different pools so ultimately it's up to the user to try out each pool.  The best thing to do would be set failovers and have the mining program spread the hash over multiple pools to decrease variance.

0% downtime is nearly impossible. Even google can be down for sometime a few time a year. Pools which have 99%++ uptime is recommended. If the pool is down, you could always switch to a backup pool.

0% is impossible.  99.99% is not, and some pools have less than 4 hours of hiccup time during an entire year - BTCGuild is one of those.  Not having to babysit my ASICs and make sure the pool is not disconnecting them and getting stale shares is worth more to me in time savings than trying to eek out a theoretical 0.01% more profit on another pool.  Time is money after all.

If you have a decent amount of THs, BTCGuild has a private server that I've never seen go down. I think Eluthria runs a phenomenal pool. If Bitcoin had an awards show, he'd win best Pool Op every year.
