thanks. for ETN, which pool give the best result with low fees since i am from asia? i just started the Monero mining using the CPU, will see how is the result.
The problem with ETN is not to find a pool with low fees, but to find a pool that is up and running as close to 24/7 as possible. It looks like larger pools get DDoS'ed on a regular basis and miners lose more because of them being down than from mining fees. I'd say stay away from suprnova, there might be something wrong with their configuration cause even if they're up most of the time they're finding too few blocks for their total hashrate (I got at least 25-30% less from them than I should be getting). I tried mining on hashparty pools, and they used to work fine but have been down a lot lately. Right now I'm mining on http://electroneum.ovh/ and it seems ok.

That is exactly the reason I switched back to mining Monero.  It is mind boggling that these pool problems still persist.  I really don't understand why this seems to only affect this one coin.  There is no way you can mine ETN without constantly babysitting it.  And even if you do notice that the pool went down, finding a pool with a decent hashrate is like finding a needle in a haystack.
