I just started a new pool at http://www.bitcoinmining.co and am looking for miners to test it out.  There are no fees until we mine our first BTC.

Um, am I missing something here?  How could there be any fees until you mine your first block?  Seems rather obvious.  Lol.

I'm using noob-friendly Bitminter on a Mac -- one USB as an experiment -- and getting 0.0087 BTC / 24h.


Thats about dead on.  Will take years for ROI. But oh well.

Please take this as a face value question: Have you ever studied discrete mathematics?
No, should I say.  "You'll never get ROI?"  I believe BTC will go way up in price.  Therefore ROI is possible.

I agree that ROI is possible, but in many ways.
More specifically what I referring to was the concepts of overlapping ROI, resulting in reinvestment of most of the mined coins.  Cool

See that sticky at the top of this subforum? It's called Mining Pool List. It's got some really great info about which pool is right for you, from bandwidth-saving protocols to payment methods to optional features. Give at least those first two posts a thorough read through, and then come back with what questions you have.

Yea, it's really an exercise more than anything else, while awaiting the BFL order to arrive.

I'm using btcmp, I get about 0.011 BTC per usb per 24 hours.  I tried deepbit and got about 0.004 per usb, ugh!  Only tried that for one day.  Of course deepbit is a smaller pool...I think.  Btcmp updates your balance very often and you can take a payment twice a day.

So I had the same question.  What pool are people using, and how many BTC are you getting per 24 hrs per USB?

Being in a pool gets you a share of every block the pool finds. the bigger the pool, the more blocks found. however, in a small pool you'll get a larger chunk of each block that is found so, all things being equal your income over time should be the same on average. In the bigger pools you just get a smalller share more often.

Basically, stay in the pool you like, where you are happy. I'm in Slush's pool, I keep eyeing BTCguild, but i don't think i'd make any more money there even though they find twice as many blocks. I like Slush's pool, the people in it's support thread are for the most part nice, o nice community. I also think that the operator of BTCguild is pretty good. he is very comunitve(is that a word?) and spends a lot of time supporting his  pool.

Hey Everyone,

Just wondering the best BTC pool to use my asic usb miner with (333 MH/S)

If I'm currently mining COINOTRON at 333 MH/s and if i switch to another pool with the same MH/s rate and pool fees, will I make the same?

People are saying not to mine BTC at coinotron because they don't compete blocks that often, does this affect my personal MH/s payout because they complete blocks at different rates? (figured that risk was with the pool operators)

thks for the insight.
