Sometimes, and they're usually at least close - plus their miner will switch algos for you automatically, though sometimes it's slow to do so.

 You can also point your miners direct at their pools, not using their software, which is nice for ASIC sometimes but usually isn't optimal for GPU rigs.


 BURST pools only pay out once a day, or when you exceed a certain threshold (depends on the specific pool), as a general rule. Don't panic 'till you go 2-3 days with no coin incomming into your wallet - if you're getting "reported" and "acknowleged" deadlines you should be fine.

 The pool websites, however, are an active pain to figure out what's going on. REALLY REALLY poor design, and seems like there's only 2 versions of the software the various pools use - and BOTH are ick.
 In fairness, you don't have a "Hashrate" as such, so the ONLY thing they can go by is when you report a valid deadline.
