I know ZERG FANS dont like any negative info or questions about their holly pool

this will be my last post here... i know PINPIN will never answer me... he never answer any real questions like with stratum problems

but it will be good if pool operator can explain how he can run with 0% fee... how he pay for servers and transactions

I never accused this pool of stealing or being a scam...

but i will quote here some words from the recently shutdown Altminer pool... one of the most experienced pool operators

""
What did we learn?

* Trust no one ;-)

* MOST mining pool operators are to dump to run a pool. If you want a reliable pool operated by persons who know what they do switch over to yiimp, zpool or unimining. Pickle Rick. All others are crap, indeed most of them were trained by us & redirected all their questions to us!

* If a pool offers much less then 1% fee -> SCAM! Servers cost money. Transactions cost money. Operating costs money. Just calculate if it is better to have a 0.1% lower fee - or a stable pool. If you miss one hour of mining on a pool with 0.1% lower fee you will loose 5% of your income! Only because you cared about 0.1%?!

*Miners, look at your graphs and understand how this stuff works! Don't get scammed by people who don't understand how to run a pool.

i really liked this pool, was supporting it from beginning, but all this problems and lack of transparency from pool operator run out the patience

good luck... smoke some good quality weed... and always look at the facts... dont let this crypto stuff blind you

Anyone has to start somewhere and the pool scene is highly competitive, with most of the miners
reluctant to leave a pool they know, just look how many are using NiceHAsh again despite loosing
money last year, it's human nature.
So if you want to enter the scene you have to bring something extra, like 0% fee for a wile.
Think of Amazon who lost money for more than 10 years and where they are now, or think of
any other startup and how they are burning cash in the first years.
Everyone can google this and check me out.
So, unless someone can show that pinpin is stealing hash rate anything else is just grumpy
guys who don't get their way or are looking for attention and 5 minutes of spotlight.
Regarding the problems, it's bad and i hope they can be fixed in time, but EVERY other pool
out here has problems some more some less. For a wile i mined INTENSE and 4 out of 5 pools
that i tried had worse problems.
Anyone entering this topic can read about the problems and decide if to spend more time on Zerg
or not.
the lack of transparency to me looks more like pinpin doesn't know for himself why those problems
are happening and has nothing to say, but maybe i am wrong.
