Hey guys, welcome to the sia community!
We recommend staying away from antpool or f2pool, and going with some existing community-run pools:
luxor.tech (small, gives some cash to our sia dev team)
siamining.com (larger, biggest pool)
there is a complete list here:
https://siastats.info/pools_list.htmlWe really want to avoid bitcoin's governance problems, so please pick small pools and help us stay decentralized!
I understand where you are coming from having been lurking on Reddit for the past few days.....don't agree with all the opinions but that's not why I'm posting here.
I've looked at several of the pools like Luxor and can't always find the nice summary of the three entries customary on the Antminer's configuration page. (see NiceHash for the customer-friendly approach)
Just a thought..........
