that makes 2 of us.
I have the spare coins as mmpool.org finally hit a block took 1200+ hours.
I figure doing the solo has too big of a downside (ie I hit it and he runs),but .1 or .2 even .3 btc at the ppns pool if the block comes in and he runs the loss is far less. So what the fuck why not.
I have not found a solo block here, yet. I won't say I am 100% sure that they will not run off with the 25 BTC, but so far they have been very responsive to all my questions, did pay me the 1 BTC bonus, and the pool runs -ck's software. I was skeptical of aTg's solo pool as well, but that turned out great.
It is a big risk, so ultimately it is up to you. I trust them enough to mine here, and will for at least another month or until the summer heat makes me shut everything down.
I am in the process of doing a 3 hour rental for 125th going to do it on the pplns pool as it is less risk. I am using west hash rental. I am going to start it with 5th and add the rest in about 40 minutes.
