Have been using Eligius but want to make the most amount of money for the small investment we have. What are the suggested pools, and is there a place to compare the potential differences on what you can make daily on avg per pool?
Thanks!
In the long run there won't be much difference in payouts between the different pools. Some charge fees, others don't.Thanks!
You could always set your miners to load balance across a number of pools to diversify your hashing power. Here's a good thread that shows a long-running experiment on three different pools (BTCGuild, Eligius and p2pool): https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/benchmark-p2pool-vs-btcguild-vs-eligius-416933
Awesome, thanks! I guess that's in January so not too far behind but yea looks like that answers my question. I wish I had that many miners back then....ha. So are they all the same type of pool, like PPLNS?
Why are there so many people on Ghash? I personally would never go use them, but interesting non the least.
(About 56BTC nice).BTCGuild is PPLNS (I believe they had a PPS pool previously that you could mine for a fee... I'd have to let someone else clarify here)
P2Pool is also PPLNS, but works based on a share chain. When a block is found, payouts are calculated for the previous 8640 shares.
Eligius is a variant of PPS (CPPSRB) that wizkid devised.
Why are so many people on GHash.io? I don't know... why do so many people use Microsoft products? Some things just defy logic
Off topic but it ended up, for me at least, easier to undervolt and adjust card speeds and settings in Windows than it was in BAMT. Linux required flashing the cards while with Windows I was able to go from stock to optimal settings in about 3 minutes. Came in handy when switching between SHA/Scrypt and now other algos.
