Any recommendations of which pool to use, have a few S1 like to run?

I been using http://btcd.xpool.ca/ without any problems but the problem I see is that I generaly do not think its worth mining on a multipool unless can add considerably more coins to the kitty to mine on. I generally mine about 4 to 6BTCD daily with 700GH or so but to be honest looking at conversions better to mine other coins and then buy up BTCD

Was on http://sha256d.ispace.co.uk/ said "This pool is marked for closure, please withdraw your coins as soon as possible"  What happened there?

The reason they are closing mining on this is due to the POW Proof Of Work round finishing so no more generation of blocks for pool operators.

The POW stage finished. You can't mine BTCD anymore. Mining will not generate any coins. You need to trade / buy from exchanges.

Yes you can min btcd.xpool is a multipool thus meaning mining other alt coins and they pay out in BitcoinDark instead of being paid in BTC or other alt coins that's how their pool works mining other alt coins that are the best profitable coins and get exchanged and then you are paid in BitcoinDark as final result.
