Thank you all for the options. I may set one worker in each pool, and see what does better of a set period.

Greetings all,
I am currently mining in Deepbit. The last 48 hours i generated 2.7 bitcoins using pay-per-share. I mine 24/7 with dual 6950's and average around 710-720. I have two questions:

a. Are the payout generally better in Slush's pool vs Deepbit?

b. Mining 24/7 I am better off using the pay per share or the proportional option, since I am mining 24/7?

Thank you for your opinions.

I actually prefer swepool.net myself as its Pay Per Share + the instant cashout button which lets you withdraw at any time.
Everyone likes different pools, I've tried almost all of them and im really comfortable here with swepool.net

Deepbit was good to me, but I think their growing way too fast.
Slush is nice as well, but I hate waiting for confirmations.

Didn't mean to hijack your topic sorry Smiley

Pay-Per-Share will always, or almost always anyway, net you less than Proportional. Even more so mining at Deepbit where Tycho charges you a 10% fee when using Pay-Per-Share versus a 3% fee for Proportional.

Slush charges a flat 2% fee. In all likelihood... you would make more by switching to Slush's pool. If you want to avoid fees all together, BTC Guild is a nice pool that allows you to donate if you want extra features, but it offers its base level of services for no fee.
