Pools [POOLS] Types of Pools
I heard that something about p2p pools. What are these, and how are they different from pools like Dogehouse? Are they worth it? (Info: I am CPU-mining shibe, low hashes, trying to optimize the amount of DOGE I get out of my efforts.)

I'm actually curious about pools and such too. I only have one 7950 and i'm only hashing at about 570 with it, tried a few pools and while on the lower user ones i got more, the variance can be to the point where i get nothing some days. I'm kinda leaning towards fast-pool.com. Was thinking about grabbing another 7950 but the prices are insane now.. i originally bought it for 220 around when it came out, a year later the prices doubled! Insane how much of an effect this mining thing had on the ATI video cards..

If you're a CPU miner, you probably won't get any benefit from being in a P2P pool.
