Litecoin Mining Pools.
Hi All,
I recently ordered the Bitmain L3+ to mine Litecoin.
What Mining Pools are the best for Litecoin ?
All suggestions are appreciated.
Please advise,
TIA,

By default the settings are set for Bitmain's related Antpool
https://www.antpool.com/?lang=en Which uses pay per share (just set up and account and enter your account details in the L3's Miner Configuration page.
I think their Pool fee varies on the option you choose tho PPS including Mining Fee share (PPS+) is 4% I believe. They also have Merge Mining in Dogecoin though they seemed to have have issues in actually paying them out and their support (in English) was pretty abysmal "I'll pass that on to our technical team" ... and we'll not give you an update at all and not resolve anything nor really reply to your follow up emails!!
Another reliable and good pool is
https://www.litecoinpool.org/charts which does not have a pool fee though you can set a Donation % to help cover costs. Great information and progress stats on this pool and when I needed some help got it pretty promptly and with intelligent helpful answers ! No surprise that their share of the hashrate overall has grown lots in the past 6 months to be one of the bigger pools about now.
Instead of Dogecoin they have an increased payout in LTC that's based on relative market strength of the coins (presently 102%)
No gimmicks and stuff here just easy mining ! Tho with the L3+ I find that the present rewards are down quite a bit over the past 3 months as there is much more hash power about and the difficulty has steadily increased.
