How to choose a Qubitcoin mining pool

How should you use this page?

This page lists the criteria worth comparing between Qubitcoin pools, and what to look for. For each one, it gives our own current, verifiable answer. Hold those answers against any alternative.

This is not an attack on other pools. Every pool's numbers change, so read them from each pool's own site.

Which numbers should you compare?

• Fee: what the pool keeps from rewards. Here: one flat fee on pool blocks and one on solo blocks, both shown live on the pool statistics.
• Fee extras: we add no other charges on a payout. A fee change never applies to blocks already found.
• Payout scheme: how rewards are split. Here: shown on the All Pools overview of the HeroMiners hub, so you can check it rather than take our word for it.
• Proportional (PROP): pays your share of each block the pool finds.
• PPS+: credits you per share, and shares transaction fees on top.
• Payout frequency and minimum: how often, and from what balance, you get paid. Here: automatically every hour once your confirmed balance reaches the minimum payout shown on the site.

Which qualities should you compare?

• Server proximity: a region close to your rigs keeps stale shares low. A stale share is one that arrives too late to count. Here: servers in many regions around the world, with a latency test that picks the closest for you.
• Registration model: an account is something to secure and something to lose. Here: no account and no sign-up. Your wallet address is your login and your payout destination.
• Transparency: whether you can verify what the pool claims. Here: blocks, payments and per-miner stats are public. Every payout is listed on the public Payments page with its transaction hash.
• Connection options: TCP and TLS on the same port. Plus an alternative domain for networks where mining domains are blocked.

What matters whichever pool you choose?

• Read the same numbers from each pool's own pages.
• Prefer claims you can verify on-chain over marketing copy.
• Re-check them now and then, because fees and minimums do change.

If a claim cannot be verified anywhere, treat it as absent.
