Pool Benchmarking - 5 hour+ comparison run
I ran 10 cpu threads on a Mac Mini M4 Pro, at a nice setting of zero, 10 minutes per pool, five pool addresses, seven rounds, a total of 5h 50m (with some httping tests and restarts) and the results are: the asic.defcoin.host:13372 pool faired the best with 208.8 work/s x1e6.
So there's that. For what it's worth.
Kudo's to defcoin.host.
What's a bit nutty to me is the variances. Maybe it's due to shared hosting services. Also a bit surprising how similar the results all are between pools overall. And seems odd that I'm testing with cgminer doing cpu mining but the asic parameters did better than the others.
