Monero Mining Pool Profitability Comparison

Recently we have launched PoolWatch.io which provides, among others, an ongoing and representative comparison of the profitability of several large Monero mining pools.

Compared to other mining pool benchmarks we actively mine on each pool at the same time, with similar hardware on a continuous basis. Our system tracks exactly how much hashrate was sent to each pool (accepted shares) as well as the balance evolution of our pool wallets. With the confirmed pool hashrate and balance increase we can calculate a normalized weekly income for each pool. To diminish the impact of pool luck on our results we use a long comparison time of 1 week. For more information check out the FAQ on our site.

Our results are updated on a 15 minute basis and available at https://www.poolwatch.io/coin/xmr.

If you have any questions or improvement suggestions please feel free to let us know.

Very good. Will be quite interesting to compare that with similar metrics on my site.

Thank you for your feedback. Are your metrics currently public?

Thank you, very interesting comparison. From what I can see your results more or less match ours. How do you deal with different network latencies of the pools? Do you only count accepted shares towards your hashrate sent to each pool?

Yes, I count only shares that are confirmed to be accepted by the pool.

Very nice! Looking forward to you adding more pools.

Are you continuously mining to each pool, or round-robin around a single miner like mayday30's monitoring does?

Feature suggestion: some kind of relation graph 1kh vs. network hashrate so people get a grasp on "why pool pays 10% less than last week"

Thank you very much for your feedback!

We do continuously mine on each pool at the same time. That is also the reason why we cannot add an unlimited number of pools as we have to dedicate hardware for each pool. We initially tried to do round-robin mining but we saw strange results especially with pools that use vardiff.

Very good suggestion, thanks a lot for that. We are going to add a maximum mining profitability chart soon that will include that information.

maybe u/mayday30 will share his round robin approach. the results were pretty consistent from my observations. but I still suspect it favors pools with PPS or wider PPLNS windows if the cycles become too large.

The only "know-how" here is likely modified miner that exits immediately after first share is accepted. This is quite easy to patch.
