Just a follow-up, Antpool is working for me again.  I'm sure you all are happy... Shocked  

I have been looking for an alternative to Antpool as you all suggested, but I am mining BTC cash right now,
No, you are mining the altcoin called BitcoinCasH aka BCH. You are NOT mining BTC nor supporting the BTC blockchain.
Don't even get into why only Bitmain and friends keep trying to call it BCC which is an old and different altcoin...

The only value to BCH is when you:
a. use it to buy miners from the folks behind BCH - Bitmain
or
b. Sell it for fiat
or
c. Paying a fee to do it, convert BCH to BTC so you can spend real BTC at Canaan's distributors to buy Avalons,  FrozenCPU for all kinds of PC toys, Overstock.com, eGift, Newegg, and a myriad of other places to purchase all sorts of goods rather than just Bitmain's miners....
