Hi all,

I have been mining small scale for a number of months now with a couple of antminers. I had hacked mine to concurrently run on up to nine different pools (http://bitcoinsinireland.com/antminer-s1-mining-more-than-3-pools/ based on what I found at https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=623672.0.

So I've reviewed the various pools, looking at their interface, options etc. I have gotten a lot of feedback on reddit saying that the numbers don't scale up (i'm running about 450ghs) so I've qualified all of the reviews with that, but i'm hoping to get some data to put alongside the review from people with several terahashes.

I'm working my way through every pool at http://bitcoinsinireland.com/list-of-mining-pools-who-have-mined-bitcoins/ which I got from Blocktrail, and trying to see which are active, which are dead, which are public and which are private.

If people know any that are dead, it would save me some time so please let me know.

So for the reviews, I have done http://bitcoinsinireland.com/discus-fish-aka-f2pool-bitcoin-mining-pool-review/ , http://bitcoinsinireland.com/eligius-bitcoin-mining-pool-review/ , http://bitcoinsinireland.com/bitcoin-affiliate-network-mining-pool-review/ and http://bitcoinsinireland.com/ghash-io-bitcoin-mining-pool-review/ so far, and will be doing Slush, BTC Guild, Ozco.in and Polmine in my next batch of four.

I also am looking for ideas for my next four, so please let me know any major ones that I should be doing.

All constructive feedback is welcome, I know I'm just me and it's my opinion, but there's a load of new people coming in, and I'm trying to look at all of the pools through the same lens between now and Christmas, and hopefully have a good way for some pool owners to see what the competition is up to to improve their interfaces.

Thanks!

Jamie
