I was using monerod.org, but decided to go to herominers because its hashrate is higher and so payouts should be more steady. I am watchful of contributing to centralization though so made sure it was still small. Herominers is ~3% of the hashrate so i don't feel bad about pointing my xmrig-proxy their.
