The miners’ pool hunting exercise

If your mining career is anything like mine, you have faced many challenges. My challenges started way before I started mining. It started with which equipment to buy, GPU or ASIC, which GPU or ASIC, which algorithm do I want to mine, where do I find all of this information, and so forth. I will publish some guides and help on these questions in separate articles 🙂

Once you start mining, on that very first day, you face the huge question of “which pool”.

You probably start with the biggest pools, because you think “they have to be good, right?”. In the days and weeks that follow, terms like poolfees, profit switching, cost to run and mining calculators start playing in your brains.

It took me a few months of pool switching and research to find useful information, primarily because you read opposing information in forums, so eventually you don’t know who to believe.

Which is why I started my own trial and error approach.

I found many pools, which don’t give you information – some don’t give you historical info, like how your rig performed, you can see when it went down, some just give you the coins you have earned, without projecting how you will perform in the future (based on past performance).

I have found pools that give you loads of technical information, but it takes 15 minutes to figure out how to configure your miner to mine at the pool. Some of these pools made me feel like I don’t know enough to mine, and mining is reserved for the l33t.

Then Mirelle Dismenol invited me onto Whalesburg profit switching pool. I have been mining there ever since.

What grabbed me about the Whalesburg interface is the following:

• Easy, built in profit switching
• Easy config and joining
• No registration required to mine
• Telegram notifications
• Awesome support
• Easy to read mining stats

Easy, built in profit switching

I have written a separate article on whalesburg profit switching here. But in summary, they mine the algorithm, and not the coin. You don’t have to profit hunt, they do it for you. Their back end system is very efficient, which leads to the lowest uncle rate in the industry, and more. The current coin mined is shown on the dashboard, convenient, transparent and easy to understand.

Here are some real examples – I took screenshots of some of the coin switches and activities.

Easy config and joining

Whalesburg offers a click and copy config tool. This takes all of the questions out of setting up your miner. Click click, paste your wallet, type your worker name, and copy your command string.

Even if you rent hardware, they provide easy info:

No registration required to mine

Anonymous mining is supported, you do not need to register with whalesburg to mine, just point your miner and sit back!

Telegram notifications

Once you have started mining, you can subscribe to the telegram bot. Set this bot to your requirements, and always be informed.

Easy to read mining stats

Well, here we have a huge differentiator. All of your stats on one page, and easy to access. Many of these stats and info exists in other pools, but
