I, like many knowledgeable members on this forum, believe and trust in Kano. I will never point my miners at BAN. Ever.

Not only is his knowledge & understanding of Bitcoin undeniable, but the work he & ck do for the community is legendary. One simply has to look at his pool thread to see that he is trustworthy, open & transparent with anyone & everyone who asks a question, with all payments being on time & constant updates as to the running of his pool - which absolutely can't be said for this pool/thread.
I will only mine at a pool that I trust, has a clean reputation, pays on time & is open & transparent. S0br/BAN fails in every department.
