Fellow CATians - the info found in the initial post is there because it is the best information available at the time it was posted.

If anyone has any information that a pool, service, link or site is not working or supporting the CAT community, please post details here and we'll get things fixed. That's a promise.

Four hours ago I put one of my miners on the Catpool.in pool and so far it's working exactly as expected. Tech support works, the account setup process works, mining works. If I find that the pool does not work as one would expect, I'll let the pool op know. If they don't respond, then I'll recommend that we remove the pool from the initial post.

I'll update this post when I have more to add.

Are you sure tech support works, because i still can't send a support ticket to catpool.in?

I logged in at catpool.in, click on support and fill in the support form (can't really make mistakes with that, they ask for name, email, subject and problem) and click on "send email" i get this message:

There was a problem sending your message. Please try again.

To be sure it's not my system i tried a different browser, same problem.

So i'm pretty sure support still doesn't work at catpool.in? Did you even test it?

Horus, let me spell this out for you: When I said that tech support works, that means that I 1. created an account 2. connected a miner and started mining 3. clicked the support tab and completely filled -out the form with my info and question and 4. pressed the submit button.

If at any point that process failed, I would have typed "I agree, the support form appears to be broken". This, however, is not what happened - the process worked perfectly for me on a Windows 7 machine using Chrome. Therefore, I posted that the support system works exactly as expected.

As for your suggestion that the pool is advertising a 0% 'fee' while actually charging a 'fee', I'd like to remind you that a 'fee' is a mandatory contribution to a pool, while a DONATION is not mandatory and the miner can increase it, decrease it, or turn it off completely from their account settings tab. Many pools use this software and the functionality is IDENTICAL across the different pools. Catpool.in does NOT charge a fee. They clearly state "This pool does not apply fees and you are not donating." in the account info and "Our pool have no fees!" on the main page.

Coinium's terms of service are clear:

Coinium.org pools rewards miners according to PPLNS system with 0% fee.

Coinium does have an OPTIONAL donation, but they do not have a mining fee. Therefore the OP will not be changed.

edit... Coinium does charge a 1% fee and this is stated on their main page and in the account info. I found the single place on their site not yet updated - in their terms and conditions. I've passed this finding to the folks at Coinium so they can update their terms and conditions page.
