12 days and 50+ pages latter: no luck yet finding any decent blake2s pool.
Unimining was good only day one after v11 release. Antmine also, maybe 2 days.
All others not even worth mentioning.
Pools to avoid:
zpool.ca
unimining.net
antminepool.com
yiimp.eu
xvg.ehu.bg
pool.gigarho.com
nlpool.nl
oxo.rs
coinfoundry.org
zergpool.com
Stop wasting your power and GPUs. Stop feeding amateurs and thieves.
Unfortunately "-mode 1" is only smart option for now.
Agree, i'll also stop the xvg too, it seems to be a mafia. The only pool i've tested and didn't stealed me was NLpool but 1 day later it was unusable. It does gpus stressing a lot for a few bucks.
My GPUs don't seem any different as long as I tune "-dcri xx" properly. I have the same temps, same fan %s, etc
I think nlpool.nl is not one of the crooks, but it's easy to group them into the stack of people using "YIIMP"/"YAAMP". TBH, I haven't tried any others beyond antminepool and it seems to be missing about 20% of what I should be getting.
Now nlpool.nl has problems with stability, no question there, but they are working on it. My suggestion would be to add a second server dedicated to XVG with blake2s algo and perhaps or at least add an alternate port for balancing the load. The problem is that unless they have two distinct IPs it's probably already at capacity.
