Choosing the right mining pool can be a difficult decision. There are many pools to choose from, and they all offer different features that may or may not fit your needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this blog post, we will discuss 7 of the best options in terms of features and popularity so that you can decide which one is right for your needs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"h-overview-of-the-top-7-ethereum-mining-pool-options\"><strong>Overview of the Top 7 Ethereum Mining Pool Options<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table aligncenter is-style-stripes\"><table><tbody><tr><td><strong>Pool<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Reward Method<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Network Hashrate&nbsp;<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Ethermine&nbsp;<\/td><td>PPLNS (1%)<\/td><td>131.2 TH\/s<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>F2Pool<\/td><td>PPS (3%), PPS+ (2.5%)<\/td><td>&#8211;<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>SparkPool<\/td><td>PPS+ (1%)<\/td><td>114.8 TH\/s<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>NanoPool&nbsp;<\/td><td>PPLNS (1%)<\/td><td>21.1 TH\/s<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>MiningPool Hub&nbsp;<\/td><td>PPLNS (0.9%)<\/td><td>14.3 TH\/s<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>2Miners<\/td><td>PPLNS (1%)<\/td><td>19.5 TH\/s<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Hiveon<\/td><td>PPS+ (0%)<\/td><td>36.9 TH\/s<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pay Per Last N Shares (PPLNS)<br><\/strong>This method refers to offering payment to miners as a percentage of shares they contribute to the total shares (N).<br><br><strong>PPS:<\/strong> refers to Pay per share. It is an instant payout method for each share that is solved.<br><strong><br>PPS+<\/strong> is a hybrid of PPLNS and PPS. Reward payout is similar to PPS, and the transaction fees are paid similarly to the PPLNS payout method.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"h-ethermine\"><strong>Ethermine<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ethermine is among the most popular mining pools today and has been around for about a year. They are based in Europe but offer an interface that is available from many different countries, including the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ethermine mining pool is one option for <a href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/learn\/what-is-geth-in-blockchain-geth-explained\/\">Ethereum<\/a> miners who want more features than MinerGate offers without sacrificing ease of use. Ethermine supports both PPLNS and PROP payment schemes with an average fee of about 0.29% and a minimum payout threshold of only 0.01 <a href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/coins\/ethereum\">ETH<\/a>. It has many helpful stats, like graphs that show you your daily, weekly, and monthly revenue, as well as detailed breakdowns by worker address so it\u2019s easy to monitor individual performance and find out which rigs are most profitable!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"h-f2pool\"><strong>F2Pool<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>F2Pool was originally founded in Beijing to mine Bitcoin and Litecoin and is one of the oldest Ethereum mining pools. F2Pool uses PPS and PPS+ payment schemes with a 2% fee and a payment threshold of 0.1 ETH.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While F2Pool charges more than most pools, it is also more consumer-focused. The mining pool allows users to monitor their accounts through a dedicated mobile app for Android and iOS. Apart from Ethereum, you can also mine 40 other cryptocurrencies with F2Pool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"h-sparkpool\"><strong>SparkPool<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>SparkPool is a mining pool that focuses on privacy and pays out 100% of the block reward to miners. With SparkPool, you can mine Ethereum for free with your <a href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/blog\/glossary\/central-processing-unit-cpu\/\">CPU <\/a>or <a href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/blog\/what-is-gpu-mining\/\">GPU <\/a>without having to register an account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pool uses a PPLNS system and has a minimum payout of 0.1 ETH with a 1% fee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"h-nanopool\"><strong>NanoPool<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>NanoPool is a multi-currency mining pool with a 1% fee and a PPS+ system. You can mine different cryptocurrencies with your CPU or GPU: Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others such as Zcash, Monero, Lbry Credits, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>NanoPool is an easy pool to use, but it doesn&#8217;t offer a mobile app that would make monitoring the account easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mining-pool-hub\"><strong>Mining Pool Hub<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The Mining Pool Hub offers <a href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/blog\/bitcoin-mining-pool\/\">mining pools<\/a> for the most popular coins on the market. Apart from Ethereum, you can also mine 40 other cryptocurrencies, such as Dash, <a href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/blog\/what-is-litecoin\/\">Litecoin<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/blog\/what-is-dogecoin-the-story-behind-the-cryptocurrency-future-price-prediction\/\">Dogecoin<\/a>, by adding their respective worker in your account settings tab. The site has 0% fees which makes it one of the cheapest options out there, especially if you are looking to invest larger amounts of money into ETH mining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"h-2miners\"><strong>2Miners<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>2Miner has servers located in the US, Europe, and Asia. It supports 20 currencies, including ETH, ETC, ZEC, MUSIC, BTG, ZEN, BTCP, CLO, and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2Miners charges a 1.5 fee for solo mining, but the fee for PPLNS is 1. The payouts occur automatically every 2 hours. Many users have praised this pool for its interface and quick responses from the support team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"h-hiveon\"><strong>Hiveon<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Hiveon is a pool meant for ETH mining. It has servers in France and China and supports 20 currencies, including <a href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/coins\/bitcoin\">BTC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/coins\/litecoin\">LTC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/mudrex.com\/coins\/dogecoin\">DOGE<\/a>, NEBL<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The pool has a PPS+ payout method. It pays users 50% for stale shares that are not above 5%. Payouts are not made when stale shares are above 5%, and the user&#8217;s wallet is blacklisted until further notice. The pool also offers daily payouts to its users with a minimum payout of 0.1 ETH or 1 ETC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-medium-font-size\" id=\"h-closing-thoughts\"><strong>Closing Thoughts<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Ethereum mining pools are a great way to get access to ETH.
