How to Choose a Pool
Consider these factors when selecting a mining pool
Pool Fee
Lower fees mean more of your earnings go to you. Most pools charge 0.5-3%. Consider the fee vs. features trade-off.
Hashrate Share
Larger pools find blocks more often but split rewards among more miners. Smaller pools have less frequent but larger payouts.
Minimum Payout
Lower minimum payouts let smaller miners receive rewards faster. Higher minimums may save on transaction fees.
Server Location
Choose a pool with servers close to you for lower latency. This reduces stale shares and maximizes your effective hashrate.
Payout Schemes Explained
Understanding how mining pools distribute rewards
Pay Per Share
Fixed payout per valid share regardless of block finds. Predictable income but usually higher fees.
Pay Per Last N Shares
Payment based on your share contribution in the last N shares before a block is found. Rewards loyal miners.
Solo Mining
Keep the entire block reward when you find a block. High variance - best for large mining operations.
Pay Per Share Plus
Combines PPS for block rewards with PPLNS for transaction fees. Offers stable income plus bonus from fees.
