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
Braiins isn't that old.
The name is very recent, and the pool was bought from someone else long after a number of pools existed (including after my pool existed)
Since they bought the pool there have been, on a few occasions, issues about them paying out less than expected due to pool issues that they ignored.
They also are pushing transaction bias, which is very bad for bitcoin.
Hi かの,
I appreciate your reply, and I understand what you say, however when I tried to get to setup an account for your pool, I got a message from FireFox saying that there is malicious content ahead, and forbid me to get there. Would you please tell me what URL is the one for your pool? I tried the same thing, as you can see from my reply above, to get to ckpool, and I had the same issue.
Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you
