There are three pools with 0% fee. Indeed... RiePool is the only one who does not even have any fees on outgoing transactions.
How is uBlock more profitable than other pools?
Also, i remember xptMiner 2.2, the most powerful mining available today; and where does this work?
Anyway, I think it would be positive for the stability of the coin that those who solo mining (over 80% of the blocks) would drift some power into the 3 pools, to help even those who have minor mining opportunities.

I've been running a test for the last day or so with two identical laptops.
I will provide an additional update at the end of the week and will be incorporating different CPU's to ensure an accurate comparison.
I encourage anyone to replicate this test between pools and see for themselves.
Machine specs:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4710HQ CPU @ 2.50GHz 8GB DDR3
Machine connected to Riepool using "xptMiner2"
Valid shares: 2180
Earnings: 2.5 RIC
Machine connected to uBlock using Dave Anderson's miner
Valid shares: 1843
Earnings: 9.3 RIC
Even with higher hashrate of "xptMiner2" as indicated by the increased share rate over dave anderson's miner, uBlock is still 50%+ more profitable.
uBlock offers higher payout per share because botnet miners cannot participate in block withholding attacks and other forms of selfish mining on the pool.
Again, I encourage anyone to run a week long test against the two pools and see for themselves.
The only way Riepool's profitability can improve is if large botnet miners are removed from the pool.

.....
First of all, one week is not a satisfying time to make valid conclusions as the oscillations of hashrates can be marked......
Secondly, you must necessarily keep in mind how many blocks solve the pool in the time frame taken into the calculation.
.....
miners can participate in block withholding attacks and other forms of selfish mining on the pool.
.....
But what does it mean for a user to waste computing power on a pool without helping all its users in block resolution?miners can participate in block withholding attacks and other forms of selfish mining on the pool.
.....
We also tested uBlock... sorry that the tests were continually interrupted by disconnections to stratum servers or inexplicably blocked accounts issues! Be careful!
And then why keep a private pool?
Finally... some clarification on XpoolX? Did you also do the tests or do you take it with us personally ??
Alright, We'll keep the test going for one month. I feel that one week is enough but whatever., We will also include any superblocks solved since that's potential profit on this network.
You must be unfamiliar with selfish mining. Please educate yourself here, specifically chapter 6 https://bitcoil.co.il/pool_analysis.pdf
Thanks for pointing out that you were repeatedly banned from uBlock stratum servers. Not sure why you needed to try so hard and use so many random sketchy VPS servers and proxies. If you don't want to get banned then at least try and look like a average miner.
The pool is private to reduce administrative overhead in ensuring that botnet miners are not mining on the pool. We open up registrations from time to time, but some individual likes to create hundreds of accounts and launch sabotage/ block withholding attacks against the pool, I wonder who it could be
We have tested against xpoolx and it's also not very profitable either but xpoolx doesn't claim to be the fastest at anything. I mainly take issue because Riepool refuses to ban botnets. Xpoolx probably doesn't care because RIC is tiny compared to their XMR pool.
We don't need to get into a pissing contest over this, I simply wanted to provide data to back up my statement that uBlock is the most profitable Riecoin pool. I encourage anyone else to test and publish their results. We will publish our results after one month has passed. You can go on hand waving all you want but you'll have to publish some data to solidify your case.
For Accounts: We created 3 accounts on ublock over 10 days and contacted support for 2 of them, asking why our accounts had been blocked for a potential botnet use!
That's not true as the test system was a simple i7-4790 and...
...The answer??? Never arrived .... so...... this is serious!
We normally don't grace the botnet users with any emails as to why their account was banned. We have sent email on a single occasion because we were unsure whether they were a botnet or not, telling them to contact support if they believe their account was closed in error.
I can't seem to find any of these emails you speak of.
You should post them here, headers and all
