Is anyone else concerned at all with the huge portion of the mining being undertaken by suprnova right now? They are contributing well over 51% of the current hashrate...
https://miningpoollists.com/hush/We have been aware of this for a while. The community has been increasingly adding more mining pools with non-suprnova pools seemingly becoming more popular. In Slack we whole-heartedly advocate not to mine on a pool that has majority hashrate.
I'm mining on suprnova. Can you guys give me a reason not to?
Because it is in nobody's best interest to put over 50% of hashpower in a single pool. Move to hushpool.cloud for example which is also big enough to even out your income.
I don't want to sound like an asshole, but that reply doesn't convince me to move. I find suprnova easy to use and convenient with plenty of info. I need a real reason why I should move.
The main reason I chose not to use suprnova is that you get a better return on your mining efforts (in my limited experience) with a pool that has a hashrate where you get a larger slice of the pie.
Miningspeed has been my go to for HUSH mainly because my moderate 3ksol/s hashrate packs more punch there resulting in larger payments when blocks are mined. I see roughly 10-12 coins a day (sometimes more) consistently and there's no delay or tx fees on my wallet deposits other than the pool fee which is only 0.3% . Coins are deposited when they reach 0.05 coins instead of having to wait until higher amounts build up which I prefer... and since there are no tx fees on the deposits you don't lose any profit.
Hope that info helps .. if not, Suprnova is good from what I hear. I agree that switching based solely on their market share would be unwise, there has to be more benefit than cost in order to make that move worthwhile. Although I do tend to personally agree that consolidation of large portions of market share in a single pool is unwise and creates an imbalance in the market that could result in disaster if the pool was hacked crashed or just decided to close shop.
