Hey just wanted to share my recent results from minining on Starpool off and on this weekend. I've had it pointed to starpool for about the last ~22 hours and I've earned just about .0032 btc. At one point it was on track to earn nearly .001/hr. The pool definitely pays out in bursts and sometimes Nicehash may seem higher temporaility but I think after a week I will see this paying out more overall than nicehash but will keep you all posted.

The pool works like this. There's a bit of luck involved. You hash on a Algorithm, when it finds a block (which is based on luck) it will credit the block out based on how much hash you provided to finding it, which can be seen in your wallet dashboard. Some days it finds more blocks than others. Yesterday there was higher orphans than usual on quark, I already asked the dev about it and he's looking into it.

The advantage Starpool has is it has every coin for every algo so it will point you to the least difficult coins and should maximize your finding potential. But you have to keep in mind it only increases your chances, blocks could be found on other algos even though they're more difficult and you would miss out on getting paid because you were hashing a different algo.

So in essence Starpool you need to count on a little luck. But in the end it has been paying more than nicehash for the week I have averaged. Sometimes it pays very high and get's double blocks, other times when the difficulty is high you find fewer blocks. But all in all I have averaged near 40 per miner for the week and I will be staying on the pool as I feel like it has higher potential than nicehash. You have to also keep in mind the price of bitcoin has been increasing you get less btc on the exchange but dollar wise you end up being around the same.

Basicly nothing is guaranteed on Starpool but has higher earning potential but nicehash is a safer more steady and predictable payout.

Thanks for the tips guys. Definitely depends on luck - but gonna give this a go and stick with it.
