Topic: Best Pool for AntMiner S1 (Read 7198 times)

I know it a old post

but Nicehash has huge reject

any other pool we should try

so far working for me
ghash.io (180gh give or take on both my end and pool)

bitparking.com has merge mining with a variety of merged coins.

If you ever mine alt coins, I run a TRC pool I'd recommend.

Slush and BTCguild are both fine pools.  Deepbit.net is fine too.  All three reputable, honest, and have been around a long time.  P2pool is good and should get your lower fees and a higher return over time, but with higher short term variance.   It is really just a question of looking at the costs, orphans and benefits of each and then deciding what is important to you.

Ok, I have my AntMiner S1, which pool is the best to use? BTCguild  PPS or PPLNS, or a different pool?

Slush pool any good?

Yes theyre overclocked. That result was 1st jan to 14th jan. Difficulty has increased alot since then so you cant compare it to now. 31 is also really small timeframe.

I can confirm the results.

- you will have full control on your node.
- nobody will be able ddos your node if it not public and you do not publish your ip.
- if you have good hardware for server than you can get better latencies etc

I do not see other advantages but maybe someone else tip it

My result of 6 antminer for that period was 5.24BTC

here is tx id that confirm that

can you confirm your result?

What is the advantage of setting up my own node?


So you earned .96BTC per ant miner in 2 weeks? Thats .068BTC per day. That's pretty awesome! Over the course of 31 hours I earned .043BTC, so you are earning over 50% more. Are your Ants over clocked? I am running mine at 400Mhz, avg 197Gh/s at a 1.9% error rate.

Yes you are campaining for p2pool and your node. I dont mind you campaining for p2pool. Everyone should use it. I just question your methods.

I also dont know where you get that pps with 7% fee is the most popular? Anyone with half a brain know that 7% is going to earn them 7% less then a 0% pool.

I accept that p2pool is the most efficent and morally best choice to mine but youre benchmark is meaningless especially when you compare lowest fee with highest fee on the market.


Fair enough, Im running 5 antminers on BTCguild. From Jan 1st to Jan 14th I have gotten 48 automated 0.1 BTc withdrawals . 4.8 BTC  in which is exactly how much you mined at p2pool over the same timeperiod.

I compare most used option.  Many new miners are going to mine on PPS as they worry about variance. But they don't mind about high fee. And one of the goal of banchmarc is to show that.

I likes the idea of decentralized mining so all my Jupiters now works on private p2pool node. With my antMiners I run this continuous banchmark to see difference for myself and for other miners who wants to see.

There is no extra hashrate ) . Please look at blockchain for the address that is used as miner username on elizium node. You can calculate all incomes (Newly Generated Coins) and compare to your own results on any other pool.

I'm not campaigning to use this pool or my node. Everyone makes choices for themselves. I made ​​my choice and it p2pool.in. I like the idea of decentralized Mining and therefore I support the public node - http://elizium.name

I suggest p2pool but setup your own node. Until then you can mine at eligius at 0% fee.

Unlike you im not affiliated with any pool.

Only BTCguild PPS share charges 7% PPLNS is 3%.

Eligius is 0%, ghash is 0%. Several other pools are 1 or 2 %.

Why did you choose the highest fee mine option to compare to? You said you tried every major pool so how come you didnt compare it to eligius 0% pool? That would be at least a meaningfull comparison.


I dont mind p2pool, I think its a good pool and best for future of bitcoin but it wont mine 20% more then centralized pools and you know it.


I have personally mined at eligius and btcguild and have been recieving good results there. To earn 20% with p2pool means my hashrate would increase 20%. How do you explain that is possible with neutral luck?

As for claiming your results are public youre lying or misleading at best again.

Youre COMPARING and therefore it is USELESS to publish a single mining adress.

Ive also looked at your p2pool mining stats and I fail to see the additional 10% hashrate that you claim to have over btcguild.

What? why are you talking about some fee at all? every miner is care about profit and if btcguild or other pool takes 7% !!! fee that is not good for miner. P2Pool and elizium node run at zero fee and even more it includes transactions fee in miners revard.

Variance? That banchmark is continuous and is running to discover and show what is better p2pool or huge fee to centalized pool

And yes, I run public node to help people and not mislead them as you do. Seams like you are affiliated with some big centralized pool and you are interested in keeping that big fees. You can write anything but every miner can try and compare where to get more.

Youre lying, you run a public p2pool node.

You are very well aware that a comparison of pps with 7.5% fee vs 0% fee is stupid and misleading to compare.

You know full well that mining results in bitcoin for 2 weeks does proof nothing.

You claim there is a 20% higher mining income with p2pool which is false. You do not disclose variance and fee for example which youre full aware of therefore youre purposely trying to mislead.

Thanks SEMaster. I received my Antminer S1 today and set it up on what seems to be a smaller pool I found on p2pool.info. Not sure how to tell if its a "good" pool or not. My biggest concern was not being prepared to start it working ASAP once it arrived. It has now arrived and it is mining. How do you measure if success in these pools?

First - there is no lie - all results are public. Public statistic of mining stated in banchmark topik. And you can look at address that used in mining - go to blockchain, find all incomes and calculate that it's true.
Second - banchmark is continuous and there will more results every 2 weeks.

In any way do not mislead people. I'm also is miner, I'm was looking for right pool for a long time. I tested almost all known pools
I can say that only practical test will show you where you can mine more. Big pools in this context is not best. They are more stable and has less variance but you pay for that from your revenue. And the interest of pool operators of big pools is big too.

The supposed benchmark shows only that youre a liar. What should I believe official p2pool.info stats or your word?

And who would run a test on a 0% pool vs a 7.5% pool to begin with? And then only for 2 weeks.

what your rate in this
you make multipool specific? or?

i am tihnk this nice result

I'm pretty happy using my antminers on P2Pool, just make sure you're running the current firmware (20131226 or better). I can't really recommend using a remote p2pool node, as when you use someone elses you lose most of the advantages of P2Pool.

Hello,

very interesting, I am currently using the Bitminter pool because someone has experience or is the psppool the better option?

thank you
