Another suggestion is that if you are using Z-Enemy miner as the preferred miner for any of the algorithms it supports, you may want to follow the developer's recommendations for intensity settings found here:
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=3378390.0 Some of the miner's default settings are not the recommended values. If you change the intensity settings
for a preferred miner, you may want to consider locking that miner if you are using the Change Preferred Miners Automatically advanced configuration setting.
I haven't made any changes to intensity as I wanted to see what the default values do, but I will look into that. Thanks.
In regards to BlockMasters, you may want to read this post
https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=4101412.0 to see what others have been saying about their price estimates. I don't agree with everything being said in that thread, but I have found that the actual prices are closer to my expectations than some of the current estimates.
Just read that thread and that looks bad for BlockMasters. I'm not sure if i want to use a pool that inflates prices.
To give a quick update on this, BlockMasters just updated their pool and according to the author of the post about their estimate accuracy, they are now lower than most other pools. It will be interesting to watch how their estimates compare with those of other pools over time.
