Anyone have any thoughts about using the biblepay pool vs. the purepool? Are there situations where one is preferable to the other?

BiblePay Pool (pool.biblepay.org) requires you to register an account and then create a workerid. The pool most resembles mpos style.

Purepool is anonymous where your wallet address is the workerid. This is like yiimp style. It is easier to get set up and PoW mining on purepool IMO.

Thank you for that explanation. If I may press my luck for more help...

I'm having difficulty with the wallet and CPU usage-- it seems the CPU for BBP Core hangs out at 40% and doesn't go much lower (on a 7th gen celeron). I have a 2nd wallet on an intel i7 with gneproclimit = 1 and it does the same.
Here's my config from the celeron:

Code:

addnode=node.biblepay.org
addnode=biblepay.inspect.network
gen=1
genproclimit=1
minersleep=20
poolport=80
pool=https://pool.purepool.org
workerid=MY_BBP_ADDRESS

Anything I can change further to lower the CPU usage? Thanks.

Edit: I'm noticing in Transactions, there is a PODC update that seems stuck on confirming. I'll let it run for a bit and see if when done the CPU goes back to normal.

If you want to lower your CPU usage just increase the minersleep value. Try 100, 200, or even 500 ms (if you don't really care about the hash you make when heat mining). The transaction should have nothing to do with this.

P.S.: You can remove the addnode lines and the poolport line, they are redundant

Is the poolport right for the https connection? Shouldn't be 443? (and redundant as well).
