It's funny how everyone loves the pool when you're hitting low variance blocks, but when you get stuck on a difficult one everyone jumps ship and start to yell scam. I've been accused of so many things since starting this pool. I was accused of faking the pool being hacked in which we lost some eth, but everyone still got paid in full from my own pocket. I've been accused of having fake accounts to steal eth from others. I've even been accused of redirecting the hash power to other pools to steal it for myself and manually increasing the variance on the website to look like everyone is still mining on it.
And we have the very small core group of haters that go to every forum, every place they can post a review and call the pool a scam. Apparently they have nothing better to do. But the pool is still there, people are still mining and still getting paid.
Yes, the crypto world is the wild west, there are no rules it seems because it's so anonymous. But not everyone is dishonest and a thief. I run a legit pool. If you think it's a scam, just be like everyone else and mine on a big pool.

yes , this pool is scam
Would have responded sooner, but didn't notice this post until now.
I really wish people would look a little closer at things before posting messages like this.
Since I'm the owner, you assume this is a fake account that I created. And sure, that's a logical conclusion to come to if you only look at the pool's stats, but if you actually look at the account https://etherscan.io/address/0x83cd59f4bda0f8f979c58d20547a8ae89878ce88 you will see that it's actually a pool hopper that is doing this on many pools, not just noobpool.com. Unless of course I own all those pools as well.
Right now 95% of the eth hash rate is on 5% of the pools, when people continue to accuse smaller pools of scams it will keep everyone on the bigger pools and eventually a decentralized thing like cryptocurrency will be centralized to a few pools instead of spread around as it should be.

Hi,
I have recently joined NoobPool. I have noticed an odd miner on the site which I assume is the owners. I connected my miners at 780MHS to the site. The dodgy miner suddenly shot up MHS from 586MHS to 782MHS. I ran this for about 20 minutes and then disconnected my miners from the pool. The dodgy account dropped back to 586MHS. I followed this procedure twice and both resulted in the same behaviour. I presume that the owner is running a fake account on the website using a script which is made to steal other miners earnings due to the site having no fee.
The account has the most inconstant averages due to it changing hash rates constantly. (http://noobpool.com/#/account/0x83cd59f4bda0f8f979c58d20547a8ae89878ce88)
This is based on testing and anyone can go try it. The dodgy account will always sit at the top usually 5 - 10 MHS above the highest miner. Please stay WOKE!
Cheers..
