user3725: I know Eligius doesn't have a lengthly setup process, you just use your payout address as the username.
Which other pools are this easy to start with?

user4832: 50BTC, but I'm pretty sure they take some fees, while Eligius is takes transaction fees instead.

user3819: You can try http://p2pool.info/
And P2Pool.info does not keep fees, they redistribute it ;)
In general you don't have to subscribe to P2P Pool (just search for "p2p bitcoin pool").

user1307: Ok, I'm going to iterate over this list. Although I think it is not very clear what "account creation" would imply, I list the ones that just want your Bitcoin address.
Ones I found that do not require account creation:

50 BTC
Eligius
Horrible Horrendous Terrible Tremendous Mining Pool
P2Pool
BitParking (requires you to create a UserId, but no password or whatever so basically you can just enter randomness and a Bitcoin address)

And ones that do:

ABCPool.co
BitClockers
Slush's pool
BitMinter
BTC Guild
BTC Oxygen
BTCMine.com
btcmp.com
BTCWarp
CoinLab's protected pool
DeepBit
Eclipse Mining Pool
MaxBTC
Ozcoin
Polmine
pool.itzod.ru
TripleMining
