Has anyone worked or done anything with NovaBlock?

I have no interest in mining with them, but I am interested in hearing about them from any of you members here at BTCtalk who have worked with or communicated with them.  They are a "fairly small" mining pool that wins between 1 and 4 blocks per day (the pie chart of hashpower page at blockchain.info will show their recent results).  I have two ideas, "half-baked" for the moment, that I would like to explore with them.  They have two emails for inquiries (if you poke around their website you can find them), and in due course I just might if they are interested and legitimate (looks like they are).

They apparently do take people who want to mine, but that is not what I am interested in.

Many thanks for any comments, whether in this thread or by PM.

I mined with them for a week or so when they first started - pay was comparable to that I was receiving on viaBTC - I was mining both pools at the same time for comparison.

Thanks for the reply!

Were they professional and welcoming?  I have a couple of ideas I am thinking about that do not involve mining, but do involve money.

[MoparMiningLLC]

yes - they were also very quick to respond usually - there was a couple days where they were not responsive, but I think that was because of a 3 day ban they received due to "spam" I think they messaged a miner who reported them for spam because of unsolicited PM's.

Thanks again, have another merit, smile.

OK, I will contact them directly after some more thought.

sure thing - I am sure others will chime in here as well - there were quite a few of us that tested their pool in their starting weeks. Eventually I went back to PPLNS though, I prefer that to PPS mining.

Hard to give you much to go on as my experience is in mining with them. Personally I had no issues and found them to be helpful and have good communication. I wouldn't really call them small an they definitely seem well connected so they my be a great incubator for your half-baked ideas.

OP of their ANN page is who I was in contact with so you may consider sending them a PM to get a more direct response. https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5183959.0
Good luck

Thanks to you both MoparMiningLLC and Steamtyme.

I'll keep mulling over my not-ready-for-primetime ideas and drop them a line.
