Things I've notice since I start late June/early July into the cryptocurrency world, a few pool operators and there weird tendencies. One of them is, raising fees out of now where because they think people are not donating enough. Why not just make the initial fee what you wanted in the first place, that's kind of false advertisement. At least give people a day in advance that your going to up the fees, be honest please. The lower fee was probably the reason why people joined a certain pool(s) originally. Another bothersome thing, was recently an operator's pool was over paying people for a database error. He/She decided to put everyones balance to zero and freeze payouts, could have just disconnect everyone from the pool and corrected the issue, then restart the pool. Hello, it's your responsibility to check up on things like that and fix it. I think some operators just put a pool up and think that it is on auto pilot some how, just keep raking them in the money that easy. Nothing in life is easy and what seems easy, is difficult in another way. Some pools need to fix their wallets and/or stratum connections also. This is mostly what bothers me with the few pools that gave me these issues and wish there was an agency that would police these pools on how to operate, maybe FinCEN like agency. What's your thoughts on some of the pools? Most pools run well, just the few make the many look bad some times.
