PoolWatch.io: An ongoing representative mining pool comparison

We are happy to announce the release of our new site PoolWatch.io which provides the first ongoing & representative mining pool comparison.

We compare mining pools by accurately tracking the amount of hashrate sent to each pool & the amount of rewarded coins on an ongoing basis. For more information on our benchmark method check out our FAQ.

Currently we provide benchmarks for Ethereum, Grin, Monero & ZCash mining pools. During the next weeks we will add Ethereum Classic, Beam and Bitcoin to our site.

If you have any feedback or question about our comparison method or the results we are happy to answer them here or on our dedicated Telegram Channel.

glad to see evidence from a second source showing earnings definitively lower on Grinmint then f2pool (and others for that matter), especially after their post here last week claiming to be the most profitable.

Yes, they were quite profitable for a short period of time but now their profitability has declined significantly again.

I'd like to see top-5 pools.

Is there any pool ranking available for beam? Most blockchain explorer do not show a distribution of blocks mined by pool.

This doesn't compare nearly enough pools for each coin.

​

Instead of adding width, at depth.

Thanks for your feedback. Which pools do you think we should add?

All of them.

Btc.com for Eth please. As it's the most profitable for 2 other coins it's curious that it's not a competitor for Ethereum.

Great service se far.

Could you also add some Ravencoin pools as well? Lot's of skimming seems to be going on there.
