IMPORTANT: Please Note whether or not you mine crypto as a hobby or as a business, you are required to file taxes for mining crypto.


Often people say just join a mining pool to receive funds from mining crypto but no one explains how to find the best pool. They usually just talk about a pool they use and some of those pools only carry certain coins and other pools like Unmineable or HiveOs carry a big variety of them.


So, how do you know which mining pool website is the best?


Easy, just go to Miningpoolstats.stream. It contains a list of all the coins and mining pools and informs you of the rating and quality you can expect from each pool. All you have to do is search for your coin on the left side search bar and you’ll get a list of pools. You can organize the list by hash rate, pool fee, or when the last Crypto block was found.


For example, the top three mining pools based on the last time a block was found within the Bitcoin network are viabtc.net, marapool.com, and f2pool.com.


If you sort it by the hash rate, the top 3 Bitcoin pools are foundrydigital.com, antpool.com, and f2pool.com.
