FEATURES EXPLAINED
Single address and port for all coins
This pool has unique feature: single miner/rig configuration for all coins. You login to the pool using Google account (Facebook and others are coming) and receive unique account ID. Then you setup your rigs using one address and port with your ID as a wallet address. Rig names (workers) are mandatory to start mining since you have to assign a coin to mine via web interface to every worker. In drop-down menu for worker you select which coin this worker should mine, will it be a SOLO or PPLNT or GROUP (see below about private groups). That's all. You may also set a default coin for new workers. If no default was set, you should add coin for every worker to start mining.
Instant coin/mode change
If you want to switch one or more of your workers to another coin, you don't have to change configs or restart miners. Just login to the pool, choose your workers and select a coin/mode from drop-down list. Your workers will switch instantly to the new coin, miners receive new DAG and new job for new coin, no config change or restart is necessary.
New coins added often, also by your request
New coins are usually added very quickly. If you know about new coin just launched or to be launched soon - just tell admin. New coins may usually be added in few minutes, and all 3 mining modes (SOLO/PPLNT/GROUPS) are provided. Then you switch your workers to mine this coin when difficulty is low and enjoy looking how it rises in few hours. Be an early bird.
Mine first, add wallet last
All mined coins are assigned to your pool ID. You may start mining ASAP and don't waste time looking for a wallet address. After you mined some coins, you may add one or more wallet addresses later (no expiration, even next year) and enable it to withdraw. Start mining new coins now, add wallet later.
Mining groups (private pools)
You hate pool hoppers. But now you can have your own private pool to mine with your friends. To do so you create a private mining group and set coin for it. Then you select a distribution mode inside of the group. It can either be PROP or PPLNT. Then you may invite your friends by adding their IDs to the group. Friends can select your group from the same list as normal SOLO/PPLNT coins. All blocks mined by a group will be distributed within that group. Since it is invite-only, you will have a private pool with no pool hoppers.
Pool servers all around the Globe
This pool provides few servers in US, EU, RU and Asia regions.
Full NiceHash support
Poll is fully compatible with NiceHash. Besides of high difficulty, it also supports EthereumStratum protocol (-esm 3 in Claymore Dual miner). This protocol supports extranonce parameter which guarantees unique jobs for all pool workers with no work duplication. Other stratum modes have no such guarantee. This mode is recommended but not mandatory.
JSON API
You have total control on your mining. By adding some simple scripts you may not only check your progress, but also switch coins based on your wishes. Some may select a most profitable coins (the pool provides you the info), some other want to mine coins with lowest difficulty. The ways are countless, and you are in control. Switch coins based on your criteria, not one of the pool owner.
Best practices
This pool is a bit different from many others. But it was written from the ground and has many have never seen features.
It has been running just few months but it is very popular now due to its low time to add new coins. New coins are added often, and you even can request to add new one. Then you may start mining in SOLO mode what most miners prefer while difficulty is low or use PPLNT as most pool do. For instance this pool mined Callisto (CLO) when its difficulty was few MH (yes, MH - do you believe it?) - now it is 17.5 TH...
Ethereum mining notes
Some people try to mine ETH on it and wonder why there are no blocks for long time. The answer is that the pool is young and did not exist when ETH was rising. Since it had no advertisements yet, the pool ETH hash rate is low, and Ethereum blocks are rare. Mine even in PPLNT with low hash rate means almost mine solo. So, when you want to mine high difficulty coins - check the pool stats to see how many miners are mining the same coin at what hash rate. All other coins are usually relatively ease to mine and can be mined even solo.
