What’s everyone’s favorite mining pool or pools?
I’d like to say PowerPool is a great one with low mining fees and the payout conversions you get if wanting a different coin that’s supported! Check them out!

Because I live in this paradise on the bottom of the world (NZ) I generally use Stratum Ping to find anyone with sub 300ms latency. So that generally ends up being Herominers as they have a bunch in AU that can usually get me into the 30’s.
With that said, I checked Powerpool and I could get 140ms to there which is still pretty good for here. For comparison, F2pool is 260ms and viabtc is 350ms when comparing KAS pools.
I used to remove the pool with the highest hashrate then pick the lowest fee pool I already use for something else and use that. Then I was watching RPM one day when he was saying pool latency matters a lot. So if you are in a well connected northern hemisphere location, probably just pick anything under the 1st pool that you like. If you are a long way from all the pools like me, maybe check the latency before you jump.
I’m on Miningdutch for Scrypt so I can split payouts 40% in DOGE and 60% in BTC. I like that a lot. I get exposure to DOGE if it moons and am safe in the BTC if it doesn’t. They have AU servers also.
Otherwise I’m very vanilla on Herominers, 2miners, or Vipor for the miners still running. Generally all because they have he best latency for the pool required.
