For anyone looking for a trustworthy pool run by experienced pool ops - try us. Cant promise that we won't go down but we've been running pools for FTC/WDC for quite some time now and have had very little down time.
We have DDoS protection, dedicated servers and multiple stratum servers spread around the world so you can always have secondaries set up for failover.
Now, all that said and done, if someone hits us too hard, we'll go down too. It's unavoidable.... welcome to crypto.
Also, it's not unheard of for the front end to stall and stop processing payouts etc. All shares are still counted and blocks are still processed by the back end but updates to the web front end stop. Don't worry - you loose nothing, it's just delayed. (unfortunately we ops have to sleep form time to time!
)
We DO know how to run pools though and dont have to "reset the DB due to a glitch!". your coins are safe.
So in the defense of ALL the pool ops out there, it's a LOT of work and stress to run a pool and it does break! Providing the OP knows what they are doing - it will be fixed and you'll get your coins sooner or later! Remember to set a low enough auto payout!
Now fellow doggers (that aint right...), come help us with this shitty round!
