As I said, the pool is for solo mining.
I don't insist anymore, topic of this user who asked a question did not receive any concrete answer, instead he got hints that he's using the wrong pool and he shouldn't be doing that.
I didn't expect that and that's why I commented in the first instance.

The problem is you are an unknown and we have had more than one small pool run away with a block.

The idea that a newbie asked how to use your pool could mean you have a second account and are using it to lure people into mining on your solo pool.

I am not saying you are a thief but why mine with your unknown pool. when

ckpool
kano pool
viabtc pool

all are known payers of solo.

The only way you are going to draw miners is you use an escrow service to back your pool for a block or 2.

I have 4ph I would never point it to your pool for fear of you running off.

Why risk a loss of 6.25 btc on your pool

Hi philipma,

I tried to find the pools you mentioned above, and for ckpool & kano pool the browser did not want to go there saying that they have malware.
The only one that worked somehow was the viabtc pool.
As I am a new miner (I will be in short time), do you recommend viabtc pool over the braiins one? I know that braiins is very old, and somehow respectable, however I do not know too much about the fees, and other things a pool might have. I am in the process of documenting myself til my antminer arrives.

Thank you
