Note: We have suspended this comparison, as the whalesburg account now attracts an extra 0.5% due to the release of the whalesburg token, and the accompanying promotion. We start a new comparison, with several whalesburg accounts, including tiered benefits, as well as a zero benefit account. We will also include more pools, as well as global hashrate comparisons.

Today, we would like to test the Whalesburg claim to be up to 15% more profitable than other pools.
We started our experiment on 10 December 2018, and we are very excited to see the outcome!
Intro – like what are we doing?
We are measuring the profitability of several pools, up against each other.
We will share the progress, and our miners links to the pools, so you can follow for yourself, fully transparent.
We will be mining for ETH, solo, pool, and where profit-switching is available, we will profit-switch within the ETHASH (
Who are we and why can you trust our assessment?
Well, it’s not really our assessment – we will be running this fully transparent because we want to enable you to see the Tree within the Mining Forest and make your own conclusions.
We have been mining for about 8 years now, and we have forged some good relationships and affiliations over the years. We have learnt some stuff over time.
We truly want to make mining easy, and most profitable for all miners, especially GPU miners.

Tech specs
We have aimed two 100% identical 6GPU rigs at each pool.
- motherboard: Gigabyte Z370 HD3
- GPUs: 6 x XFX RX 580 8 GB per rig
- RAM: 4GB
- CPU: i3
mmpOS operating system (great beta OS!)- total 374 MH/s pointed at each pool
Conclusion
We will update the article daily with results. We analyse the results to make it more meaningful and easy to read. We will also publish a video with the final conclusion.
Running commentary

*24 December – one rig serving whalesburg went down for 69 hours (during holidays) and was compensated with an extra rig until 30 December.
*17 December – we had a nicehash outing for 24 hours. We added extra rigs to compensate.
*13 December – we lost connectivity to some pools for 2,5 hours. We corrected by disabling the other pools for 2,5 hours.
