Why is Coinotron so popular?
-
With more than 50% of our hash rate at any given time sitting on coinotron, my question is, why is it so popular?
If any of you reading use it I would love to hear why its your pool of choice.
I have used:
ftc.theblocksfactory
ftc.nut2pools
They are all alright, moved away from wemineftc after I lost over a days worth of mining there. You can find me on the blocksfactory pools or nut2 pools these days.

They are big and good.

Good in what way? Other than large hashrate I see a pretty crappy front end.

I love it. Brilliant design and functionality.

simple and effective. What more do you need.
Also, Coinotron have been very helpful when dealing with problems.

I like lots of stats, other than some multi pools, every mining pool I run across have been simple to use.
Really depends on pool op if the pool is helpful or not with problems, wemineXXX failed hardcore a few days ago, however, I have had similar issues with other pools and the ops were far better.
My first check is always “Is this pool close to or more than 50% of a network hash rate”, if yes then I don’t use the pool regardless of how good it is. Even if the pool op has good intentions its still a vulnerability for the blockchain, all it would take is one bad actor to grab a hold of coinotron and we would have to resort to ACP.
