OC I'm unable to connect to your pool.
You do know that pools get to see the private keys of the blocks you mine, as do others? That's one of the reasons this coin has a pool dissuasion feature that people like which helps to promote solo mining and decentralisation.
Feel free to use pools, just thought you might not have picked up that risk from the mining white paper in the OP.
i dont think so with ocminers pool ...
which is the reason you require HIS miners - and not the opensourced ones we used from spmod and others ...
the private i mined at many moons ago - is exactly how that was - which is why it was private ... it was based on a trust level - i trusted the pool owner not to steal my mined coins - and it worked better than average and so much better than solo ... but agreed - with THAT pool - the private key was shared ... which is also why you cant use other miners on ocminers pool ...
im sure oc miner can shed more light on how he made his miner work with stratum pool ...

Ah that myth is still around ? That people can see the public keys and "steal" the blocks etc
Funny
I think I've posted it 4-5 times in this thread already, I should really bookmark the post, but here, once again:
1) Full communication between pool and miner(s) is https encrypted on the spr pool - so no one can see anything
2) I'm using signed miners, you cannot use the regular ones, thats why they're linked on the getting started page.
3) Every round has their own private key and as soon as the block is found the coins are moved into a separate wallet so even if you would "crack" the https encryption and get to know the actual private key you could only steal the reward of this one block (and you would get automatically flagged/banned on the pool).
There are some extra features implemented in stratum which I don't want to post in public here but, just look at the stats, rest assured, the pool is working and paying fine
Oh and you might want to check if you find pools on the block explorer... You won't.. even though there is at least my public one, this is simply because every found block is paid to a new address... So you also won't see the other pools
