Topic: The best BTC Pool ? / Domain Sell (Read 1218 times)

I personally use Slush's Pool ( http://mining.bitcoin.cz ) just because of the fact that it's the original bitcoin mining pool and has been around for forever.

I'd say anything except GHash.io - they always seem to be close to having around 50% of the network hashrate which isn't a good thing.

Well spoken, Gigabit, couldn't have said it better.

By the way, how's the ant farm running my man?   

There is no real best mining pool.  Every miner will say the mining pool they been mining to forever is the best and they're probably the best for them.  You have to draw a mining plan, like you would in a gold mine.

• Do you want to be able to cash-out daily?
• Do you want to mine x amount of blocks per day?
• Do you rather make more bank for your power?
• Do you want merged mining?
• How much time do I spend at the PC?

Those are all things like that to consider and then some, those are just a few points to consider.  From my short experience, large pools appeal to new miners because they pay often and regularly find blocks.  They are also a lot more stable and easier to deal with in general, they're established for years.  Most miners found out for themselves.  Smaller pools may take a few days to find one block but the chance to get a nice share of the pot increases too.  At some point, if you go to a small pool, you get a no-profitability factor.   Meaning, no matter what you make from a certain point, you're giving free hashing power without pay.  It's up to you to know what you can expect to earn from each pool you congregate.

If you start then BTC Guild is probably your best bet to get used to the whole thing.  It is the most stable and quickest to pay too.  You can cash out daily but don't pay as much as a small pool like P2Pool or BitMinter.  P2Pool I find is too small and BitMinter never takes my whole hashing power; I think their server needs upgraded hardware.  I'd avoid score based pools like TripleMining and Slush's Pool, I never got a decent ROI when compared to other pools.  You might, didn't work out for me.  In the end, best research is your own.

Hope this helps.

Best payouts I've received were from f2pool. Unless you can read Chinese, use Chrome to translate it for you.

Yes, this.  Stay far far away from GHash.IO if you don't want to contribute to them potentially coming close to 51%.

BTCGuild is the best.
100% uptime and no issues otherwise either.
ghash is simply ruining mining stay away from them.

Eligius and BTCGuild are, from my experience, currently the 2 most efficient and stable BTC mining pools.

As for your domain name, it is corny and unrelated to cryptocurrencies other than having the word "hash" in it. Any random person could simply make a new domain name prefixed with "hash" and get it cheaper. It also expires in less than 6 months and has never had any traffic. What you call great, most of us would call random online junk.

Did i mention that they compensate for the downtime? Guess i didn't

98% is pretty terrible for an online business.

I use GHash.io and found them to be fairly reliable with 98 % up-time.

btcguild.com is the most stable and steadiest payouts.

I don't which is the best pool. But, if you have trouble with choosing mining pools. I recommend you to use https://mining.bitcoin.cz/

HI, I want to know what the best BTC pool is. I have a 1TH/s miner and want to test it. I realy don't know which Pool I want to choose.

BTW i have a great Domain, it's realy good for a Pool but also for other Mining or Coin stuff: hashrage.com feel free to make an offer
