I like the sp20's just a little more then the s-5's since lots of lines for pools
Made it easy to add nicehash
Yeah, that is nice. I really prefer the SP20 interface over the Sn interfaces. Although Bitmain does make good products too.
Of course both of us have run into that problem where if you have too many pools specified for the SP20 (is it 8?) it craps out and is a pain to recover. Maybe they've fixed that, but I haven't been following the firmware updates.
when rates were nuts in nov-dec I used both west then nice. right now rates have not been that crazy. So I use only west.
So if profitability is high enough to use WestHash, but WestHash is down due to a failure on their side, your miners will point at kano. That means you might miss out on WestHash/NiceHash profitability. My understanding is that WestHash and NiceHash share the same profitability, but different server hardware.
I'm using NiceHash as a backup to WestHash with the same profitability constant on the outside chance that WestHash goes down but NiceHash stays up.
Makes sense to me, but maybe I'm missing something.
2nd part 3% is not correct 0.016 a th after fee of 2% 0.016 x .98 or
0.01568 a th vs 0.0116977 a th. that is a 30% mark up
I use f2pool as my example since they pay steady rates but take out 4% west-nice takes out 2%
Ah, I see. I missed the NiceHash 2% fee (and I had other math errors) when I first looked at your 0.016 number. It makes sense now.
FYI, following your lead, here's how I now have my pools set up:
westhash.com p=0.016
nicehash.com p=0.016 >>>>>>
try p=0.0159kano.is
f2pool.com
antpool.com
small correction see the slight price difference avoids choice confusion on the softwares part.
acutally use westhash first if western hemisphere and nice hash first if europe , asia , africa ,australia
