look at my benchmark https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=416933.0
sure it will help to decide

Please do not believe this.

For starters this poster is affiliated with the elizium node.

Second he used the pps system on btcguild which has a 7.5% fee.

Third those numbers simply dont add up. According to these numbers p2p has almost mined 20% more, accounting for pps fee we are still over 10% more. According to pool luck stats this is impossible.

no problem - go to any centralized pool like btcguild and lose you revenue Grin

that banchmark only shows practical (not theoretical) results and that is your decision what to do

The supposed benchmark shows only that youre a liar. What should I believe official p2pool.info stats or your word?

And who would run a test on a 0% pool vs a 7.5% pool to begin with? And then only for 2 weeks.

First - there is no lie - all results are public. Public statistic of mining stated in banchmark topik. And you can look at address that used in mining - go to blockchain, find all incomes and calculate that it's true.
Second - banchmark is continuous and there will more results every 2 weeks.

In any way do not mislead people. I'm also is miner, I'm was looking for right pool for a long time. I tested almost all known pools
I can say that only practical test will show you where you can mine more. Big pools in this context is not best. They are more stable and has less variance but you pay for that from your revenue. And the interest of pool operators of big pools is big too.

Thanks SEMaster. I received my Antminer S1 today and set it up on what seems to be a smaller pool I found on p2pool.info. Not sure how to tell if its a "good" pool or not. My biggest concern was not being prepared to start it working ASAP once it arrived. It has now arrived and it is mining. How do you measure if success in these pools?
