Is any one crypto pool perfect?
Well the easy answer is NO.... Pools either only have some of the coins you want or the fees are high or in some cases even hidden. So what do we look for?
An active staff that you can contact, If you can get a hold of someone thats a great start. Of course a real person is best. If you have multiple people that can help it's even better because you know the pool isn't run by a single guy all hinging on one person.
A community, perferably interactive in real time which makes Discord a great choice, other options that seem to work are telegram and forums.
Visable fees and reasonable fees. If you listen to Mr. Tanguy Pruvot the source code creator and maintainer of Yiimp mining pool and operator of yiimp.eu he states, "Fees up to 5% are reasonable" This is clearly evident by his pool charging a fee of 2% on ALL coins except SHA256 where the fee is 5%!
Bonus? What did you say? Bonus; who does that craziness!
Well I have an answer that might surprise you.
Why it's better than most other pools is rather simple.
Discord: https://discord.gg/yyC3Kkt
You can always send a message to @cryptopool.party and the response times are fast. There are coin specific channels, support channels and even channels for suggesting changes or new coin additions. The Pool is driven by community.
Low Fees:
you can see from the below screen shot no coin is over 1/2% and newer coins are even at lower percentages to attract miners.
Bonus Time:
Lets Talk about that mystry of bonuses. It does happen, I dont know how often but you know what they say, "Screen shot or it didn't happen". Not only is this the screen shot but it also includes the transaction hash for each airdrop so it can be validated! I dare you to name another pool doing that.
Anything Else?
Well yes, how about a resource page that helps miners? How often is there a new coin and maybe you dont know how to tweak that batch file for ccminer. https://cryptopool.party/site/resources
How about a custom miner for new coins? On the resource page check out that new miner that was bench marked again ccminer and is out performing it, it addition it's Open Source so you can be sure nothing bad is going on if you feel like reading the code.
Happy Mining
