What makes miners choose a specific pool over others? for example why would a lot of pool jump on the big pools and not spread out?
I understand they may find more blocks which means more frequent payments, but isn't it technically all the same in terms of chance and hashrate? so on a smaller pool you will get roughly the same amount just more slowly?
