BTC Mining Pools List

This post is designed as a handy short cut to help you find your favourite pool's forum thread, or shop for a new pool. The hashrate is an average based on a pool's published statistics for the week, unless that pool does not publish round history on API or html, in which case it's the hashrate when the list was updated. I'll endeavour to add more pools as I can.

NOTE FOR BITCOIN POOL OPERATORS: If your pool doesn't appear here please post the pool's statistics as they should appear in the list below.

If any miners need more information than appears in the list, post here. If there are any mistakes, pool ops please post or pm me. 

Thank you to Meni Rosenfeld, whose Pool summary appears in the post below the current pools list.

Please refer to https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Comparison_of_mining_pools for pool features not listed here.

REDUCING REWARD VARIANCE You do not have to mine at only one pool. In order to reduce your income variance, you should mine at multiple pool. As well as reducing variance, this will also help decentralise the network. Details in this post:
