OP was involved with a HYIP/ponzi.
While it may be a legitimate pool, don't discount the possibility that you will mine on his/her pool and never receive payment. It has happened many times in the past and will continue if people don't bother to look at people's Trust/history.
I have not had any dealings with the OP nor this pool he may very well be an upstanding member, but Vod doesn't hand out negative Trust for no reason. I, personally, would not support this endeavor.
As with any coin/pool do you research before jumping.
Yes I have run the only successful HYIP in the space. Basically did altcoin trading for the people that participated. Also promised that their balances would be reimbursed if there was a loss accrued while trading. Ending with every investor getting their money back with a sweet return (over 100+ BTC). Vod refused to remove the feedback of course, feeling his ego got damaged since I was the first fund manager to actually deliver returns for investors. This was 2 years ago now. I have 1 negative feedback and many dozens of positive feedback.
Oh and by the way, I don't run those two pools. Each one is run by a different individual, and each one has a unique miner implementation on the GPU.
