Has anyone compared the performance of bitHopper with, say, multiclone.us.to? I understand that using multiclone means I'm entrusting my hashes to a third party, but apart from that, are there performance differences?
As far as I can see, multiclone currently hops between btcguild, btcmine, mtred and slush (and reverts to "solo" mining if nothing fits) whereas bitHopper seems to use a set of different pools. Wouldn't it be most efficient to have the largest possible pool of pools to hop between?
Not sure how multiclone hops btcguld and slush since they have anti-hopping measures? Anyway Bithopper is a superior option as multiclone is essentially the same as someone running a copy of Bithopper on their server which everyone connects to. You can add more pools to the rotation in Bithopper if you want, it's quite straightforward.
