Topic: Any thoughts on Greatpool.ca? (Read 208 times)
Thanks, that analysis matches my basic research. The estimated returns on their site also seemed low compared to other pools anyway.
The pool advertises itself as an FPPS pool with a 2% fee which is lower than the vast majority of other FPPS/PPS+ pools, which raises a flag - although some people might say this is a marketing thing because they are new.!
The second flag: they claim to have 822PH/s, so that should result in a block every 30 hours or so, but using blockchair to search for blocks found by GreatPool showed 0 results, assuming there is a spelling problem of some kind I went ahead and manually checked all the names of the mining pools that found a block in the past 5 days up to this last one, and the result again was zero.
I don't have solid evidence that these guys are scammers or anything like that, but I didn't find any reasons to trust them, and with that many more other options (that are actually trusted), I rather not take the chance.

Hi all,
I bought a new S19 from an online classified ad. The seller mentioned when I picked up the unit to check out greatpool.ca which he had a hand in setting up. Curious to know if anyone has run time on this pool. It seems Canadian/North American based which is interesting to me but one of the pool lists marked greatpool.ca down as a Chinese pool.
Any thoughts and opinions welcomed!
Thanks,
