Don't give up mining with Linux. I think when it runs its more stable and secure than windows. But be aware of pool mining. I tested pool mining, its working.
But the whole pools have no informations who is responsible for the setup or what kind of company they are. Without an information you can't see if they working in the legal way. This a bit disappointing and i don't know why there are a lot of pools without any information about the company or person who is running the pool.
Has anybody informations or can say where the pools host important informations ? (f.e. the country of the head office, address of the head office )
I can't get any information from the pools. This seems a bit unsecure and dubious especially then when you are mining you have to know more than only the pool url adress.

Hi dude, I am only trying pool mining. I started with pool.burst-team.us and actually got 22 burst, but I then switched to burstneon.ddns.net and so far nothing. They have a chat and some guys are quite helpful but there is nothing with these mining pools to show that you are working until you get some burst from them to show it wasn't just time being wasted.
I'm now mining with 1.18 TB and I'll and I'll add more when I know that for sure my mining is being counted.
I agree with you that there is no security as to who we are mining for, basically a lot of trust.
Hope you are doing well

@scprv55 Trusting is good, but if you are making some more burst you need the whole information of the pool because when your financial office is asking you about what are you doing and the only thing you can say is that you trust them its really not enough and you can get in serious trouble. For testing and some fun its ok, but when you make a big rig for mining you have to know more. You can trust but thats no solution when someone official is asking you. There are more things to tink about than only IT Security. I think a lot of people doesn't matter of this but everyone has to know what he is doing. And if someone is saying it doesn't matter and don't want to know anything it's ok for him but he is responsible for his own decession.

I guess you mean your tax department. I don't have to pay any tax if the money comes from outside my country.
I'm more concerned with doing the work and the pool owner keeping the coins I helped to find.
Anyway, at the moment I am not mining because I'm plotting more and optimizing the plots
How are you getting on?

@scprv55 its hard getting on. I can't mine the right way. I have problems on solo mining to get the actual block. I post it here in Forum.
