Pool questions

As someone with 3.5 tb right now, is it better to be in a pool with 14 miners in it, or say 1000 ?
What if you had 30 tb?
60 tb?
100 tb?
There is a spreadsheet on this site that shows you the tb amount you should have. How does it figure out this if you go to one of the pool websites?

@LittleItaly The recommended size of plot is based on the longest deadline the pool accepts - the shorter the highest deadline, the higher recommended capacity.
As long as your consistently getting deadlines each round, your earnings over the long term should be the same no matter the size of the pool.

@haitch Thats where the hour glass comes to play on the pool websites?
-
@LittleItaly The hourglass shows the time until the pools best deadline would win.

@haitch Where do you see the longest deadline it accepts?
So at 1tb, what deadline max is best?
5tb?
10tb?
30tb?

doesn't really matter, you want to hit the lowest DL to win the block ( around 0 seconds - 30 minutes )
if u ever want to win a block

You can find all mining information from a pool by adding: ":8124/burst/pool?requestType=getMiningInfo" to the end of the url (Only on pools with same poolserver and 8124 as port). This information includes the min deadline.
The number of people mining on the pool impacts the reliability of your payouts. Less miners means more infrequent payouts and more miners means more frequent payouts.
The recommended capacity changes with the network, it is therefore hard to give you numbers you can rely on tomorrow.
With 3.5 TB, I would currently recommend picking falconburstpool.xyz or any pool with no deadline limit, e.g burst.lexitoshi.uk.
However you might have reasons to pick other pools, like more frequent payouts or supporting the pool owner.

@LittleItaly 20+ TB is basically enough for any pool you want to use.
