If you want a pure PPS pool then BTCGuild has a lower fee than Deepbit. 5% versus 10%
...and Mt. Red is 0% fee PPS. 
Topic: Slush vs Deepbit (Read 26405 times)
My deepbit is timing out, first time i've seen this for two weeks
Wouldn't Slush be better then?
It's 2% Fee Prop and no PPS?
Proportional is only good if you are a hopper. Everyone else loses.It's 2% Fee Prop and no PPS?
I'll second that.
If you want a steady, reliable pay-out every day then go with a PPS pool with the lowest fee.
If you want to participate in runs of good luck then pick a mining pool that doesn't reward hopping. Prop is only fair if you're a hopper.
This is the best resource for comparing pools:

So Deepbit is better at payouts then?
Wooo! go tycho!
I wish Slush's pool showed your miners current hash rate. I like to monitor my systems performance during the day while Im out. Tycho's pool does this its pretty sweet.
Worker hash rates are hidden in profile HTML source. You can use greasemonkey script (link in first post of pool thread) to show that. I'm hiding that by default, because tens of users PMed me "I have 400khash/s miner, why hashmeter shows zero?". I'll consider some 'advanced view' which shows it on profile page directly...
put a big red bold disclaimer that it only works with 10000 kh/s or more?

Can you also add worker hash rates to the json api? (either per worker or total)

I wish I had superpowers...
But on a serious note that those would be pretty cool features to have for both pools. Another cool potential feature would be if the site had some earnings estimate calculator that would show you what you might expect to earn give a certain rise in difficulty.

In my opinion, deepbit.net will have some advantage if somehow drope aside that "Stats are delayed by one hour" thing, and will provide more stats, like Slush do.
What exactly "more stats" do you want to see ? May be i can implement it.By the way, what's the real need of having realtime stats except for cheating ? The reward is the same and all data is kept anyway.
I know that it may be interesting to watch, but it's not the serious reason, i suppose

I wish tyco's pool had graphs that would tell you your average of btc/hour, and your daily average in charts, and the pools daily average.

Well, they are quite amusing when you're really bored, but I think having the hour delay cuts bandwidth costs by causing people to not refresh every time they finish a share.
hehe..indeed. I haver a habit of freshing my stats page on slush's pool. But I don't think it uses that much bandwidth as most of the bandwidth intensive stuff like images and such are cached. It does increase the load on the database and other such "backend" infrastructure.

Just did not know that. So i`m must to admit that i`m wasn`t right. Well, stats is represented good anough. As i`m say, i am new at this and hope, that you will accept my apologies.
I`m was just think about it, and came to conclusion that 1 hour delay on stats can work as cheat proof feature.
There are other ways to find pool's blocks, but most people won't mess with it, so it helps at this moment. About stas. Will be nice to see exact number of solved block, transfers included in it , who solved it. It maybe strange to hear - but that will be real nice. Maybe not so important, but nice. And yes, i`m think there are a lot of peaple who will enjoy just looking, at the job done.
You can click on a block's timestamp in stats and there will be it's number and all transactions included in it.If this block was found by you, it's share count will be displayed in bold text. And on the bottom of advanced stats there is counter of blocks, found by you.

And maybe not. Cose i`m new in that, but guess,- if there are transfer log available on third paty services, that is not real hard prooved cheat defence.

Looks like both deepbit.net and mining.bitcoin.cz pools are well mantained. Strong side of mining.bitcoin.cz is real time stat`s and pool fraud defence; and strong side of deepbit.net is instant payout`s.
They are both easly configurated to start mining. In some strange way i`m more liked design of mining.bitcoin.cz, but deepbit.net is good anough too.
In my opinion, deepbit.net will have some advantage if somehow drope aside that "Stats are delayed by one hour" thing, and will provide more stats, like Slush do.
But even then, they will stay as strong and nearly equal competitors.
