It is very interesting because it mines locally on your hardware and eliminates any latency to the pool.This works out because it locally sets the pool's account as coinbase.Once a block is mined locally it will immediately be broadcasted by your local client and eventually accepted by the network, without submitting it to the pool first.EthPool is a predictable solo mining pool.This means if you would mine solo with a defined hashrate, you would find a block every x days, in theory.EthPool sums up your credits and pays out a full block to you, predictably, every x days.Don't choose the biggest pool by hashrate.That puts network consensus in danger.Did you find this question interesting?Try our newsletter Sign up for our newsletter and get our top new questions delivered to your inbox ().up vote 5 down vote EthPool has a visual display of pools and miners by hash power.DwarfPool has the most hash power on the network Coinotron is a multi-coin pool that mines ETH as well as other currencies.
