Title: How to understand if a pool is valid? Post by: D4rkAng3l on March 23, 2014, 09:37:22 PM Hello to everybody,
I am very new in mining and I have not yet a good hardware to mine in solo mode Some day ago I signed to a pool and I mined some coin (XenCoin) with the support of other users in the pool...then are some day that there is no one connected to the pool (so I think that I was mining alone and so I did not earn other coins) So, now I sign to another pool that on average there are always 3-4 working user. So my doubt is: how to understand is a pool is valid? The number of working user is the only paramether to evaluate a pool or are there some other parameters to consider? Tnx Title: Re: How to understand if a pool is valid?

Tnx 1st you should search for a pool name @ Bitcointalk :) You can find some review perhaps. 3-4 users is very little ... I wouldn't risk @ pool with 3-4 users... it is hard to say what makes a pool 100% valid but 1st you must be careful ! 2nd you should try to contact their support just to check is it working :) 3rd you should read post about pools @bitcointalk 4rd Check it on your own :P Title: Re: How to understand if a pool is valid?
