For 5 months, I mined on the EMCD pool. At first, everything went well, and there were no problems. However, recently there have been difficulties with payouts: the minimum amount was mined, but payments were delayed for several days. Additionally, the pool sometimes started to glitch significantly, causing the ASICs to not work at full capacity, which led to a drop in hash rate. Seeing an advertisement for Via, I decided to test 2 ASICs. I tried smart mining, and it turned out to be quite good. The ability for auto-conversion and withdrawal of funds without a fee is simply wonderful!
