I'm mining a week @Johhny Bravo's but still no payout; can anyone recommand a pool for a smaller hashrate (90GH/s) or would you go solo?
I am a huge fan of supporting the smaller pools, especially with my little usb "dust farm".  I used to point it to kano.is when that pool was less than 3PH, but it grew to where I no longer received payouts so I switched my usb dusters to bitminter.  It does merged mining, which there are opinions on, but it is a very old and reputable pool at at <4PH I still see payouts from my usb miners.  For my S5 and Avalon6 I use them on cksolo, or Bravo, or BCMonster.

So check around on Johny Bravo's and see if there is a minimum payout setting or ask in the pool's support page.
Bravo does have a minimum payout, but with only 90GH it'll probably take a couple blocks for you to get above it.  Bravo and BCMonster are small pools so they do not find blocks as often as larger pools, but what is kinda cool is that even though they are PPLNS the round lasts for basically 1 block solve, so you'll get paid for all shares submitted.

i put mine on peercoin solo.. i figure i have a better chance of getting a block on that coin then i do on bitcoin.


On JB I have now:
0.00154751999999999993

BTC Est. Earnings

But I will only get this when a block is found?

Compacs are running 250 MHz, heatsink is quite hot, they run on the USB 3.0 bus. Should see with USB doctor how much current they draw now.. (av 13.5 GH/S)
