there's a separate board for mining discussions. as for pools i have used a few, hashparty.io is good when they are up and electromine.fr, says they have spam protection, both have good hashrates, but the largest hashrate comes from nicehash.
electroneum has been good to me so far. i hope it continues after the initial sell-off.
I think all the ETN pools are scam.
I mined on hashparty.io it was saying 1400 ETN/day for 15Kh/s but i got only 800.
Fuck them all i given up mining this pool.
