Question 1

Which pool pays the most for Antminer S21?

Accepted Answer

The pool with the highest real yield (sat/TH/day) currently offers the best returns for S21 miners. Real yield is measured by independent ASIC hardware on each pool, so it reflects actual payouts rather than theoretical calculations. Check the ranking above for the latest data.

Question 2

What is real yield and why does it matter for S21?

Accepted Answer

Real yield measures the actual satoshis per terahash per day that a miner receives from a pool. Unlike theoretical calculations, real yield accounts for pool fees, luck, transaction fee handling, and payout model differences. For a 200 TH/s S21, even a small difference in sat/TH/day translates to meaningful income differences over a month.

Question 3

Should I use FPPS or PPLNS with my S21?

Accepted Answer

For a single S21, FPPS is often preferred because it provides predictable daily income. With PPLNS, your income fluctuates based on pool luck, which can be stressful. However, if you plan to mine long-term and want to minimize fees, PPLNS may yield slightly more over time. Check the real yield data to compare actual outcomes.
