Topic: Which mining pool should I join? (Read 1748 times)
I am new at this and joined slush pool. Can't get GUI Miner to start right, if I make a CPU Miner the "start mining" doesn't react when clicking. And if I start the default one, it says it doesn't have anything to mine on. (I am starting out with mining with CPU to try it out)
For BTC there are many good ones... Just search a bit on this forum and you'll find...
one that handles several currencies..

Is Bitminter getting to full?
Got it working. Only one card was running. Had to switch from 12.10 to 12.8 AMD drivers.
Thanks for all the advice. I really appreciate it

I ended up using Slush's pool because I couldn't get Bitminter working. But my hash rates suck. I got 3 HD 7850's and I'm only getting 100MH's per card. I wonder if I need dummy plugs?
I like Slushpools and eclipseMC.

Why? because featercoins are most easy to get compare to lite and bitcoin. And popularity is high.

my vote goes to SLUSH's pool too ..from what i've read/reasearched ...wow this pool operator is a REALLY hard working dedicated and friendly guy who constantly tries to keep the pool working perfectly ...good active communication ...big pool ..and something about shared BTC LTC mining ...thus more rewards...
I joined up with Slush's pool by default when I followed instructions from startbitcoin.com - after mining for 2 months I decided to try other pools like bitminter but ended back up with Slush - he's had his problems with DDoS recently but the guy works non_stop to keep his pool up.
And up it is. I like Slush's pool because his fees are plain and clear - 0.2% - that's it - not 0.1% if you mine but 0.25% if you want to use the API or 0.5% because we are great etc...
The guy just charges 0.2% and that's it. I wrote a simple text based java app (run from the command line - willing to share - just shout) that calls Slush's API every ~60 seconds and prints out the Pool status and your own miner status(es). The app simply 'pings' when the pool finds a block and pings more if one of your workers stops mining.
I also like the way I can see what my share is for each block found in the pool block history page - bitminter doesn't show me 'my share' for each round for example.
Plus he invented pooled mining which is a big deal imo...

The one with the lowest fees, and doesn't have a huge proportion. (as mentioned, BTC guild is actively discouraging signing up).
I'd personally suggest BTCguild it seems to have a decent PPS price and if your doing real well with you mining you could even go for the other pooling method they have
BTCguild guild is actively discouraging new miners these days, because of the whole 51% share thing. You can read all about it in the mining pools forums.
Depending on your hardware, I would mine LTC and then exchange it for BTC on BTC-e.
You would think that would be the way to go, but right now when I use both calculators I get the same profit for both.
