This resource shouldn't be buried unless it's deprecated due to something new, in which case, let's throw down a link.
A mining pool features table is very useful for choosing pools, and even contemplating key feature sets that matter (if starting your own pool)

Holy thread necro...

There's a sticky at the very top of this forum that provides the useful information for mining pools. It may not include as much information as the link on this thread, but it is everything a miner needs to make an informed choice. It's also actually kept up to date.

We have cookies

"e-mail notification on idle" parameter is incorrect in this table.
We have e-mail notifications when no getwork requests are received from user's miner for some time.

"Formation date" is 24.02.2011

Eclipse has added the option to take an immediate payout, thereby allowing unconfirmed block payments for a small fee (in addition to getting payment for work completed on a block not yet found).

Updated. Let me know if there are any new developments that don't match the chart.

I also noticed I'm now missing the following pools:

bitchomp.info
asspennypool.com
abcpool.co
nmcbit.com
cointron.com
masterpool.eu

It'd be great if people (preferably the pool owners) could post these pools' info in the table's format, and then I'll update it.

It's been a little over two months, and I've finally updated it again. I'm going back to school at the moment, so that is why there's been a delay. I don't have much time now to research this stuff on my own. If each pool owner, or people who use any one of the pools, would simply scan the relevant column on the chart and post the updated info here in the format and wording I use, it would go a long way to getting this thing filled in.

Any plans to add MMC to the list (see sig.)

If you can post the info for me using the terminology of my table, I'll add it. No disrespect intended here, it's simply that I've found that trying to track down the information individually for so many pools, and then translating it into the standard language of my table is MUCH more time consuming than is necessary. I simply don't have the time to join every pool to figure out the features or read all the pages and pages of pool threads to track down the most up to date answers. However, if each pool expert can simply come here occasionally and give me their information in an organized post, I can easily add it, and everyone benefits.

Here you go!

Location: Europe
Type: PPLNS (proportional per last N shares)
Fee: 0.5%
Transaction fee: kept by pool
Transaction fee on withrawal: .005 BTC (instant payment) .0005 BTC (auto pay)

wenpage ui: yes
long polling: yes
auto payout threshold: yes, configurable
instant payout button: yes
share validation: 120
multiple workers per user account/address: yes
e-mail isn't username: yes
e-mail notification on idle: coming soon
JSON API: yes
HTTPS (SSL): yes
IPv6: no
wallet address change security features: yes
GUI preset support: no
additional features: cheat proof, graphs, embedded forum

Please add a row for pool-hopping measures or features. Not using hopping myself, so I would rather know how effective their methods are.
