A question from me again ;
Which pool is the biggest? How would a ranking of the major pools look like?
I am aware of
http://burstcoin.eu/pools (which is just an amazingly professional site! Think if the official home page be on the same level...), but the figures do not seem to match the numbers reported by the sites.
That can be due to that the pools exaggerate their miner numbers in some way, or that burstcoin.eu shows an average of miners over a certain amount of time. But the differences is sometimes really big.
DevPool v2 is reported to have 77 miners. If we look at the pool's "Current user balances", which is the miners who been active the last XXX blocks, it shows over 700 miners. If we look at "Current share counts", which is the active miners now, is shows 91 miners.
The numbers from some of the other pools do no seem to match either.
So does
http://burstcoin.eu/pools display incorrect figures...? And if it does, which pool is the biggest and how would a ranking of the major pools look like?
There are a couple of differences in "point of views"
1. most operators display in their time zone, and burstcoin.eu is in Germany, therefore GMT+2 (summer time)
2. the definition of active miners is different:
most of the pools show the numbers of miners as the amount of miners who have collected the reward assignments, burstcoin.eu uses who has got paid within the last 24 hours window (based on German time zone)
While the information of burstcoin.eu is advanced, the server isn't. In my firefox tab I usually have to refresh the tab, because I see an Temporary error or Internal server error. After refresh I see the content.
Most of your encountered differences could be fixed with the GMT time zone and definition of "active miners" versus "registered miners"
