Can anyone tell me what the difference will be mining at a pool with 50 active miners or 200? In other words, how does joining a pool that has 25mhs of active mining compared to 140mhs of mining affect my payout? Will the bigger pool simply find more blocks and thus giving me more coins?
The variance of your payouts will be bigger in a smaller pool. But in the long run you will earn the same ammount of coins. (If you do not take the luck of the pool into consideration)
