EDIT: Community, Thanks for all your efforts to try this pool out, although bitcoin pool did not work,
I don't blame them for trying, hope more pools help contribute to stabilize a healthy network like directpool's mission.
DirectPool.net is a Community Pool giving back to the community by allowing miners to mine Bitcoin, and provide donation support for growing Bitcoin related projects and charitable causes. This is what sets DirectPool apart from 100% of the mining pool operators in Bitcoin and (Crypto Currency) mining in general. In this guide, you will find out how to get started in mining with KnCMiner on DirectPool, Bitcoin Community Pool.
1 - Register An Account with DirectPool.net
Create a username, password, and PIN (DO NOT LOSE THE PIN Number) or you can't log back into the account. No email is required as of yet. However, the Help/Support via DirectPool.net is second-to-none. There is massive mining support, and guides like this to make sure you find answers quickly.

2 - Create A Worker with DirectPool.net
Enter a worker username and password that will get you started in mining Bitcoin with KnCMiner. (Worker Screenshot below)
Login to your account, and once at the Dashboard, you will be able to see your stats on the pool, the community stats, and other important pieces of information you need to track your mining progress, and community support. Now you need to create a Worker to connect to your username.
For Example, my username is AJ on the main registration account and my worker I just created is username [1] conclusion: AJ.1 and my password.
-U AJ.1
-P x

DirectPool Worker Information
NOTE: You will not be donating to DirectPool UNLESS you set the value in the Donation box of the worker page.
We encourage all miners to set a donation value; however, it is only optional and not required.
3 - Configure KnCMiner Dashboard or client with your DirectPool settings
The DirectPool's Bitcoin Mining URL is: stratum+tcp://btc.directpool.net:3333 or btc.directpool.net:3333
Connect this url to your KnCMiner's client or Dashboard setting: Bitcoin Mining Port for DirectPool: 3333
As shown in the picture, enter your Username.Worker and Password in this same section.
I.E: Username: AJ.1 password: X (as shown in previous step as an example)

Special Thanks for DirectPool.net for giving back to the community and making this a Community-Driven Pool!
Now my shares have built up, and I am waiting for the first block to get paid instantly in BTC.
