Hello everyone. I normally hang out in the Discord so this is my first post here. I just want to let everyone know that I will be opening a new pool at https://mintpond.com

I've been working hard on this pool for over a month and with the announcement of suprnova's zcoin pool coming to an end, I decided that I should move toward release rather than waiting till I have everything that I'd like implemented finished. The most important thing is the stability of the stratum and backend pool. The stability of the payment system is also something to keep me up at night. To that end, extensive structured logs are kept just in case and will be regularly backed up. Further features and improvements will be made after opening and I am open to any suggestions.

At this point the pool seems pretty stable in all of my testing. I will test and test and test some more. There are minor things to fix in the front-end but for the most part the pool should be capable of doing its job right now. I've decided that the pool will become publicly available around the time of the znode block (66550) which is the 22nd or 23rd by my estimates.
