Same with the pool, I am mining in since 9.7 release:

Miningpoolhub is working perfectly for those looking for a proper pool, and the pool op is great.

9.7 is perfectly stable across my 20+ rigs. If you're having issues with it, it's either your pool crapping out or your rigs aren't properly configured.

P.S. Dwarf, Minergate, Crypto-pool.fr - all tested and they suck...
P.S.2 No need to create workers in the pool - they're auto detected once you start mining.
