For those who PPS mine, BTC Guild's PPS Pool is by far the best in terms of performance, stability and payout options. I don't understand why more people don't use it.

- Instant payouts (no waiting for a block to end, no confirmations...just a running total of your earnings available at any time).
- Insanely LOW Stales etc.....like INSANELY LOW (4/4000 shares ON A BAD DAY, for me anyways...closer to 4/40000 most times).
- Established Pool with history.
- Standard 7% PPS Fee.

This is an insane big fee.

...and still only 80-90 GH/s for the most part. Where is everyone ?

For the reasons given above, noone should be PPS mining at Deepbit any longer and move their rigs to BTCG immediately, even if only for the 3% increased earnings immediately.....and in this BTC Economy, every %% counts.

I am not affiliated with either pool....I'm just a cheap-ass miner who is happy with BTCG.

Why do you eat at McD?
Why do you watch TV?
Why do you buy an Iphone?
Why do you use Google?
Why do you drink?
Why do you smoke?
Why do you vote for a mainline party?
Why do you use Facebook?
Why do you code in Java?
Why do you still use USD/EUR?.....

... all different instances of the same phenomena if we were to understand that the world would be a so much better place.

I'm really shocked about how many people still mine on deepbit: big fees, no 8-decimal pays, no particular clear interface, no repayment after leaving, risk of deepbit getting more than 50% hash power... with the result it is the most powerful pool.

On the other hand, somebody could think they are using the income in good DDoS-reluctant counter measures, so those disadvantages are a worthy price for security. But the early catastrophe proves this is not true.

That is why I launch the poll, because I'm really curious about the matter of advantages mining in deepbit, even as a backup pool. Feel free to answer here, if your option is not in the poll.

They payout 8 decimals... 3% isn't that big of a fee if you factor in invalids being paid out. The interface is alot easier to figure than some of these smaller pools. And for the most part its a stable pool.
