yeah using small pools is tough.

I mined with mmpool.org for over 7 years

they ran off claiming they were hacked. we had gone two years without a block.

and https://pool.laurentiapool.org/#/ just shut down on I mined there for two years at least he closed before he ever hit a block.

ck pool has been around more than 10 years I talked him into starting it years and years ago.

lots of begging and pms but he did it and has been good at it.

For me to mine at a new pool risking a 3 coin loss is not something I want to do.
