I found nice hash harder to work with when I was starting up, so I ended up going with braiins. That was prior to their switch to FPPS. I would like to switch to something like solo ck pool but I would need to roll my own monitoring, which I haven’t had the time to do. I like that Braiins emails me if something is up with one of my workers so I can fix it.

I made a bunch of notes, but I don’t have them handy. I’ll see if I can find them.
Off the top of my head, I compared payout schemes, KYC requirements, payout method (on chain vs lightning), usability of the platforms, platform fees, etc.
I’m not sure NiceHash was the leader, but I tried it briefly before sticking with Braiins. It was also a bit of sunk cost at a certain point, given the withdrawal minimums.

Found the notes. I was mostly correct. These are the details I looked for:
- payout threshold
- payout schemes
- fees
Surprisingly, there is a decent amount of variation.
In my notes, I had details for ANTPOOL, f2pool, ViaBTC, and Luxor. Presumably I took notes on Braiins and NiceHash elsewhere, but I don't see that now.
The notes:

I can't speak to the accuracy of these now. It's been a while since I did this research.
