Thanks for the replies. I looked at Eligius and it flagged my Anti-Virus as a malicious website. Ghash came up fine, so I think i'll use it. Their website looks much better than Slush's pool. Thanks for the info, I'll close this thread.
It is probably a false positive, eligus is operated by a trusted person of this community. Ghash.io actually had some issues last time I used it and had to switch to eligus. And antminer s3 are not easy to have ROI, think twice before buying.

You can find a list of bitcoin mining pools in https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/btc-mining-pools-list-104664.

Slush is a good pool, but if I were you I would use it as a failover pool and use a 0% fee pool (eligius or Ghash for example) as the primary pool.

The pool you should choose is one with low fees, trusted, have the most reliability and uptime. If two pools have the same fees and uptime with a different hashrate, in the long run, both of them will have the same earnings, hashrate only affects your frequency of payments. I would recommend eligus as it is reputable and have 0 fees and good uptime.

Hello, I am new to mining and have a question. I am going to buy a used Antminer S3 and I need to know what's the best pool? Right now I'm set up for slush's pool. Any ideas?
