Top 5 Ethereum Mining Pools

If you want to start mining ETH you will first need hardware. Mining hardware can be very expensive so make sure when you invest, you find the best hardware you possibly can. After you get your hardware you need to find a pool to join. Joining a pool is a better idea than mining by yourself. This way you will get regular payouts. Also, you will need to acquire mining software to connect your hardware too. Since we finished with the basics, let’s check which pools to join.

1. Ethpool,Ethermine

These are two different sites. However, they are the same pool so it’s a good idea to join either one. Their pool is the largest pool with 25% of the network’s hash power. The great thing about it that you don’t pay any fees for payouts. You get a payout after 10 confirmations.

2. f2pool

Despite being an Ether mining pool, you can mine Bitcoin too. Unfortunately for some readers, this pool is only in Chinese. F2pool takes the second place for largest mining pool. This pool will charge you a 3 percent fee.

3. DwarfPool

Number three of the largest pools is DwarfPool. They have a 13 percent hash rate. This pool will charge you solid 2 percent fees but you can also mine Dash and Monero. Payouts are released up to 5 times a day.

4. EthFans

This is a decent pool with more than 8 percent hash rate. Again, it’s a Chinese pool since Asian countries are most hyped for cryptocurrencies, it’s understandable why many popular pools are Chinese.

5. EthereumPool

A great, transparent pool that will charge a 1 percent fee for your payouts. If you have a balance higher than 0.5 ETH, you can get your payout twice a day.
