Also one more advice try to find a p2pool with a bigger hashpower Wink

Not really, all the p2pool nodes share the same hashpower. But if you are going to use a public node I do recommend you choose one that is well-maintained with an experienced operator or organization supporting it (such as the nastyfans node). Another factor would be choosing a node close to you since this will reduce your local DOA rate a little, but that is secondary to the node being well run.

The best way! And you can see the coins mature in your wallet

That's the beauty of mining

I reiterate the recommendation for using a p2pool node such as nastyfans. You will have more variance in your mining from day to day but over a period of a few weeks it will even out and you will be helping bitcoin stay decentralized. P2pool has been struggling lately because people don't understand it and needs your help to grow.

EDIT: I know not a good scientific test, since it would be best to have 2 identical sets of hardware mining the different pools during the same specific time windows... but I only have 1 ant... (if someone wants to send me another I would be happy to run and posts results:) lol)

Even during the same time period there is random variation between the pools. Each pool finds its own blocks, so one day one pool will make more and the next day another pool will make more.

I have to agree with the recommendation for p2pool above. Generally you'll do better over time and promote decentralization.

Been trying out BTC Guild and GHash...

48 hours ea running 1 Ant S1 running 393mhz (~200GH/s)

BTC Guild: 0.03195498
Ghash.io: 0.05393532

Both were very simple to configure in my ant (just put address and worker name basically).

I am pretty much just playing around with 1 ant... Will probably switch it over a few more times to see if averaging will even things out like it should.

Hi All I'm totally new to world of BTC, yes I know I'm late to the party but there's no time like the present. I've received my first machine the Antminer S1 and now have it up and running, What is the best pool to get my workers on? I'm based in the UK if that makes any difference to the choice. Thanks for your help and you'll probably get a lot more questions from me.

Eligius http://eligius.st/~gateway/
or BTC Guild https://www.btcguild.com/

BTC Guild has been more stable with less issues and charges 3%
Eligius has no fee but more issues

Leading Crypto Sports Betting & Casino Platform

Try nastyfans.org:9332

0% fees and it's a p2pool node which means you're helping decentralize the network and you don't need to sign up for an account. You can view your stats by finding your address on the charts link here: http://nastyfans.org:9332

Just aim your miner at nastyfans.org:9332 and use your Bitcoin address as your username with anything for a password.

i'm using ghash.io, it's simple, stable and with low fees.

How would this compare to BTC Guild?
