How to understand if a pool is valid?

[D4rkAng3l]

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

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

I think no matter what coin you are going to mine - safety reasons are quite the same.
