I personally don't think WTM includes enough coins, and Crypto-Coinz is often plain wrong. So I wanted to calculate the best coin to mine.

In theory which pool you mine from shouldn't make a huge difference as it averages out of time, however there maybe some benefit it using one of the more popular pools for that coin, on the basis it should get a hit more often.

What the exercise has shown me, is that it's incredibly hard to get accurate information for the multitude of coins that are available. I am starting to get some sensible results, but there are still anomalies in the results like CROP is still been mined at one pool even though it is now a PoS reward only now. And PBS is ranking high, even tough the coin has effectively been declared dead and will be removed from the last exchange in a couple of days time.
