I guess there are not so man stats to show, since solo mining is already a very very small community and there are two very good pools that do perfectly serve this small community. There is really not the market for a new pool.

Yep and now they are completely offline.

EDIT: 11/17/22
Looks like their website is down but their pool is still up....

Joined their Telegram today.

Asked a question about stats and their pool and was promptly booted from their Telegram.

Guess where I won't be sending any hash power.....

Bitcoin addresses are not automatically anonymous.
You have to go to effort to make them ... mostly anonymous ... or never use your bitcoins.

Yet another pool falsely claiming anonymity (same as solo.ckpool)

Bitcoin address is not anonymous once it interacts with the blockchain either by sending or receiving, there is nothing you can do about it to make it anonymous, a bitcoin address is by default pseudonymous given that you generate it yourself (not via an exchange that knows your real identity).

Now back to the question at hand, using a BTC address vs an email address to mine, reading the above post makes it seem like using an email address provides better pseudonymity which is questionable.

Using a pool that needs only your BTC address means the only thing you risk revealing is a BTC address, using a pool that requires an email login, means you are revealing both your email address and BTC address to the pool itself only (unless the pool's data is somehow breached then both your email address and BTC address would be public which is even worse), so it all boils down to how pseudonymous your email address can be, if you create a Gmail account which requires your phone number and your mother's last name and then you use that email on a pool, it's a lot worse than using just a bitcoin address despite it being broadcasted every 30 seconds or what so ever.

Now all of that is only relevant up to the point where you get the payout to your address, how you handle those transactions will determine whether that address remains pseudonymous or not, which really leads to the conclusion that there isn't that much of a difference between the two types of a pool if you know how to handle your email address and bitcoin wallet, so to me personally using only an BTC address is just more convenient and requires less computation/maintenance on the pool's server, it has little to do the anonymity, pseudonymity or privacy of the pool.

You are not anonymous for a number of reasons:

1) yes as mentioned about your bitcoin address - but to be specific, your bitcoin address is passed to the pool, on average, every 3 seconds.
It is also in the work sent to you every 30 seconds by the pool.
vs any other pool where your chosen random username is what you pass to the pool, not your bitcoin address
and the data from the pool has the bitcoin address of the pool, not you.


2) your miner has to connect to the pool
same as any other pool

3) you have to connect to the web site to see web site information
same as any other pool

4) you don't need an email address
most pools needs an email address


So it boils down to the difference between 1) and 4)

Do you want you bitcoin address coming and going from you at home to the pool, on average, every 3 seconds
or
Do you get an email address and give that to the pool once

Bitcoin addresses are not automatically anonymous.

With all due respect to OP, who in their right mind would risk a whole block? this would make sense if there were no other solo mining pools which have been there for years and proven to be trustworthy, it's true that Cksolo charges 2% but 1% more fees is nothing compared to risking a whole block, there is another trusted pool with even lower fees than OP's pool that charges 0.5%.

I am not trying to let you down if you are honest and not trying to scam, but why waste time and effort in making something that probably nobody is going to use? anyway, good luck

Are you expecting that any one of us will trust your pool and risk a BTC block without any reputation / proof of your previous works ?
