Did a test run on the pool with a small rig to see if it's legit. (It's not!)

TL;DR
Especially if you're a small miner, STAY AWAY!!

Mined till minimum payout, never got paid. (Owner raised minimum payout right before it happened on Sunday)
Mined till next minimum, never got paid. (Owner raised it again!)
Mined again till minimum, never got paid! (Raised again!!)

Owner keeps raising the minimum Sunday payout right before it happens, without any prior notice!!

In the end, I mined for a few weeks, and never got paid.

Many people come to complain on the pool's discord channel, but owner just ignores and kicks/bans people who complain.
I personally tried DMing him many times over several weeks, with no reply or help.
When I mentioned it on the main channel, got kicked off the server.

Other Issues:
  • The API is down most of the time, so can't even connect the miner to reach minimum payout.
  • Earned balance goes up extremely slowly (especially the last few days).
  • Earned balance often goes DOWN.. lol (it's magic!!)
  • Nothing improves, even though owner claims he keeps working to fix issues.

Minimum Sunday payout history:
  • 0.0001 BTC ( or 0.0003? he changed it so many times I can't remember lol..)
then
  • 0.0005
  • 0.001
  • 0.005 (current minimum weekly Sunday payout)

Owner claimed he got hacked, and that is why he raised the minimum (but as you can see he changed it many times after.)
He also raised the pool fee from 0% to 0.5% (which is totally fine), but the top of the pool page which most people see, still says:
ZERGPOOL MINING - 0% fee multialgo, multicoin, autoexchange pool

There have also been many complaints about it on bitcointalk.
