A fancy new pool has arrived: https://monerise.com/?pool=dero

PPLNS: 0.01%

Hope to have your support in growing our mining pool!

I am a new Dero miner [waits for the applause to die down]. Four days to be exact...! Just went to your pool site and took a peak. Kinda plain, not too inviting, but but but it's really about accumulating Dero. So why should I [and the Dero mining community] move to your pool when they are [un]happy churning away at their current one? I threw about 1000 h/ to test receiving 4.1 Dero a day. I can mine equihash and buy Dero doing better than the current pool I am in, but[x3]... can your pool do better? I am seriously thinking about just buying Dero and moving my hash/ to Z or equihash.

And I hope you are not put off by my question and rudish [rude] introduction.

Your new friend [maybe],

Hey Alan, that's interesting and the first "meh" comment about my site! I do agree that some more features can be added, but you may have already noticed that my implementation is quite different and unique from the rest. It isn't a bland copy-and-paste pool operation with the same set of templated instructions or with a few tweaked css to spin a new flavor.

It is fairly original, through and through.

I've been a part of the Dero community for about a month and a half, so not long given the age of the cryptocurrency. But I have been quite involved on the official Slack channel, and will soon be more engaged in Reddit (as the subreddits grow). Monerise was a 100% web-mining service before, and we have been contributing by helping to answer difficult questions that come up on Reddit, to that extent- we are quite proud to say that we were "glided" Reddit Gold, which we weren't aware had even existed before.

I think this is really what sets us apart, we aren't a bunch of people that sit quietly behind a wall counting our nuggets. We believe in the potential of the cryptocurrencies that we support, and all of them (including Dero), have some unique factor. We also won't spin up a new cryptocurrency, only to discontinue support because it turned out to be a shitcoin, scamcoin, or there was not enough traction. This is something we have noticed among some pool operators, that there is a race to provide the earliest support for mining the newest cryptocurrencies to gain as much users as possible. We do not think this is healthy, and unprofessional when some cryptocurrencies get inevitably discontinued by the mining pool because they moved too quickly without valuing the cryptocurrency first.

As for whether our mining pool can do better, I can't give you a definitive answer except that we will try our best. Our server and infrastructure is (our opinion) very well implemented for global mining via GeoDNS while still retaining a low level of latency, and we use baremetal servers with 8 CPU, 3.2Ghz Xeon Processor with 32GB RAM and 10Gb Ethernet networking.

If you do decide to stick around, do join us at the Slack channel!
