I'm sure there's a sticky on this somewhere, but I'll ask the question as a newb anyway and maybe a helpful sr. member can link me in the right direction.
Is there a best pool or a way to select a best pool for my mining efforts?
Due to the decentralized nature of BitCoin mining, should we support large pools or form smaller pools?
I know that larger pools provide less reward, but they reward more often while smaller pools hit pay-dirt seldom but you get a larger chunk of the reward. Supposedly it all evens out in the end, but that seems like an easy answer and thus a cop-out.
Looking forward to learning great things from everyone, maybe even contributing some day.
