The fee is what the pool operator sets. I know that's not really what this discussion is, but that's the bottom line.

We all know this pool charges 2%, and 11,000 MH/s says the fee is fine.

Personally, I've left my miners run here for a period of time. At the end of it, I'm happy with the payout compared to letting my miners run on a different pool. This includes fees, rejects, connection drops, etc.

As fun as it is for me to obsess about my own hash rates on a minute by minute basis, or my reject rates or ping speeds to servers, the bottom line to me is how much btc is transferred to my wallet.

Yes, I've moved some hash power around to see what's going on elsewhere. I owe it to MYSELF to know. Again, the bottom line is how much btc is transferred to my wallet. And as of this point, my hash power is back here.

All these talks about %s are just meaningless - how can you know what exact amount of what coin mined by the pool? At what exchange (fees) and at what price were coins traded? All you see is something pool operator willing to show you and all you get is some btc. And it's not about clever - that's how it works for any pool. The difference is amount of "transparency" (keeping in mind that you can't be sure that what you see is actually true), communication with dev, stability of pool, nice graphs and so on - to summarize - it's about quality of service. And it's about profits. If you are happy with quality and profits here - mine here, if you have another place where you can be even happier - you are free to choose your way. If there is no place where you are happy - build your own. Wink
