************ NOTICE TO ALL USERS *******************

PLEASE STOP USING HACKSHARDS POOL - Lots of reports coming in with issues (not sure if there is THEFT or NOT-) Also, stop using throw away domains (with no WHOIS History  or untrusted/easy to scam domains with no background or business history). Do some research yourself, do a WHOIS LOOK UP. Don't go after NEWLY developed domains, GO for long-term pools that have a reputation and good security mechanism.  

ALWAYS LOOK AT OP for UPDATES, VERIFIED & RECOMMENDED LIST OF POOLS!

Also, CryptoPools.com is going down. DO NOT USE IT EITHER!!!

All Pools must go to Verification Processes to be ADDED @ OP for 'RECOMMENDED' Pool Choices

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND p2pool.org

EDIT: I am researching Hackshards pool and other pools as we speak. For Now, Hackshards is Listed as Technical Difficulties for now)

Edit: Line #2 about stop using throw away domains. I was trying to say that some TLDs aren't giving users a safe advantage because some domains are made to scam people on, and it doesn't cost them as much to get started and scam people. I used .nl in that example and that was removed since that isn't the case for any specific TLD. Numerous reports did come in about http://42.pooljunkie.nl/ and we have yet heard anything back from them to clear their name.
