My experience with MPH has not been great. In the process of developing the miner I've found two bugs in their XZC pool. One of which allows a user exploiting the bug to get credit for a higher share rate than they are actually submitting, while at the same time not contribute to actually finding a block. I've reported the bugs to the MPH guys, but they have yet to get back to me about the bug that basically allows cheating.

I've used suprnova's pools before, and have had a great experience. However, their XZC pool seems to have some issues that make me worry: the stats on the pool seem to be completely broken, the hash rates it reports are ~30% higher than actual hashrates, it reports previous block effort incorrectly making the pool look like it has better historical returns than it actually has (any block that took more than 4,294,967,295 shares is reported as taking 4,294,967,295 shares).

Ominous network is new and they seem to currently have great support and 0% fee as they are trying to attract miners. I ran a rig against them for a week and had no problems, also no returns since I was the only one on the pool. The way the pool issues jobs can result in some rejected shares, due to every new job invalidating all previous jobs. But in my time running this rejection rate was low, under 1%. This will be more of an issue for miners running with high network latencies to the pool.

I had tried to run with f2pool, but the language barrier slowed me down a bit. Also I couldn't find a web front for their pool stats, which is something I would like to have in the pools I use.

If enough of you guys can agree on a good pool to use, I would be happy to redirect my rigs and the dev fee hashes to it to help total hashrate. Personally I'm leaning towards either Ominous or Mintpond, what do you guys think?

I've generally liked suprnova pools, but am also observing overreported hashrate on suprnova. Also, pretty long periods bt blocks... I'd prefer to stay on pools with US/NA servers to reduce latency, but that's about my only condition. Would also be up for throwing my hash at a pool with other miners here. If/when the windows version comes along, I'll have a lot more hash to throw your way... got a lot more Vegas than 480s, and those puppies need windows Wink

the devfee hashes could definitely add up... if we could even get up to 10-20 GH that would be enough momentum and frequent enough payments to be sustainable.

There's a lot of AMD hash out there that could be turned towards this... and it will go through this miner. Let's try and get it pooled up in a newer option and increase the decentralization of this coin. If we're lucky, could almost negotiate and have the pool fee on our terms, and keep it low.
