Everyone tells me "aw, you pay to  much to mine at the Guild", but then finding out about the perks and  you are actually paying fees equaling to almost that of the Guild it almost doesn't make much sense to switch pools for a lesser fee, right?

Bitminter pool is new to me. I've been mining at BTC Guild with good results but when BTC prices kept getting higher the less and less I was making. It just didn't seem right and I can't take hours out of my day to understand how it all works. They have a %3 fee, but Bitminter has fees also. That %1.5 prepay fee that defaults plus the standard fee right? I'm just learning my way through all these pools trying to find a good home permanently. One thing that the Guild does have is a manual payout process. Why doesn't any of the pools have this? Since I'm dealing with so little amounts here, it is nice to have a manual payout process. Maybe Bitminter has it and I'm unaware of it?

Anyway, I switched over to Bitminter around 5pm EST today and I'll see what kind of rewards I have tomorrow around this time. That should at least give me an estimate of a 24 hour earning period, right? Maybe this will be my new home. I only have 275Gh/s of hasing power and my Dad also has the same. I'll be bringing him along with me if the numbers are good here. Right now I left the prepay FEE on, as I wanted to find out if other pools do that same "perk" or not. Is that a standard thing to do or do all pools just pay right away? God the questions.
Well hello.
