Hi guys, I tested nanopool and the hashrate it gets seems ok and it could directly send my ether to coinbase, Like Im new I would like some input about ethermine, I have read and the fees are the same, I have read that its able to send to coinbase also, and some other things that look ok, Im just mining with one rx480 giving me 25.5MH/s in this moment, and the ping to ethermine is slightly better, 150ms compared to 100ms, if that has something to do about this anyway, both of them use kind of the same method of payment per share, so the guys that have experience, in which one could give me better performance and payout? which one is more reliable? and if any issues with coinbase?
Thanks

When you quote the ping-times, do you realize that a lower ping-time is better? What I mean is - 100ms is a better ping-time than 150ms. Either of those is probably fine anyway. I have seen ping - times (when my internet connection is busy with other stuff) of over 500ms and it still works OK.
I have used Ethermine, Ethpool and Alpereum. Ethermine was great but you have to wait for a whole block of hashing (5 ETH) so in your case would take ages. For me (250mh/s) it takes about 3.5 days. I said "was" because they just missed one of my block payments recently so I got suspicious. Ethermine is run by the same people and lately they have had some complaints and some "database problems" whatever that means. I like Alpereum, but because their total hash-rate is very low compared to the bigger pools, the payout isn't as regular - so sometimes you get more than you might statistically expect, but sometimes you get less.
I have two systems, at the time System A mining at 85.5MH/s and System B mining at 83.5MH/s. I pointed System A to Nanopool and System B to Ethermine. It would be good to note that System B is also a system I am using as a PC and often run SC2 on the integrated graphics while the discrete GPUs are mining.
Over a course of 4 days or so, the System B got 2-4% higher ethereum. If things were equal between the two pools, the System A should have been getting 2-4% higher instead, not the other way around.
Now for me both are back at Ethermine.
