But do they run that pool? My nano 3 miners from them all came preset to braiins’ pool.

That literally says that it makes their own templates?
Yet, the F2Pool templates show no similarity to any of the other pools. However, it is known that F2Pool runs its own nodes and builds its own block templates. It’s expected that F2Pool templates don’t match with, for example, AntPools templates.

Hmmm. Looks like you're right. For some reason I always thought they were part of the proxy. Thanks for pointing that out.

Knowing all 3 major Chinese pool COOs (and others) personally, it's become kind of a pet peeve of mine when I see people group f2pool, antpool and/or viabtc in the same "container" even though there is no direct evidence. From what I gather talking to these people (I don't claim to know every deal they make - am not an insider) they are competitors, but of course they're not enemies.
The closest evidence I've seen of collaboration is when mono found coinbases for f2pool and antpool/binance going to the same target wallet (that looked to be a FPPS insurer, not sure what ever came of that investigation to be honest.) Maybe in the near future when I feel like traveling again I'll ask f2f to at least try to understand what happened there from their perspective.
Yeah, I was just curious if they run their own pool the way Bitmain does, but I guess it would make sense that if they’re slinging other folks’ pools, they must not.
Huh, I was just passing along what was on their website. I don't know who runs f2pool. It doesn't sound like it's their own pool though.
Nano 3 was my top choice for a starting miner, but they were either out of stock or the shipping fees were crazy (I don't remember now).

Yeah, thanks for the heads up. It does sound like they aren’t affiliated with f2pool, which I see as a plus.
If you want one, I’m selling some of mine for $210 a piece plus shipping on eBay right now. I’d shoot you the sn discount if you want (make an offer I guess and we can figure out what we agree on). They are the nano 3 (4Th/s) and NOT the cooler nano 3s (6Th/s and more efficient) that came out a few months after I bought these though. They’re also louder than advertised and used, but with no noticeable wear. Hmmmm, I’m not really selling it well, but they’ve actually been really fun and good conversation pieces.

Thanks for the offer. I'm not sure yet what direction I want to go next, though, and probably won't decide until closer to winter.
I'm leaning towards HeatBit, right now.
reply
Yeah, I really like the idea of the air purifier integration. Part of why I’m selling these guys right now is the impending four months of warm weather where their heat feature becomes a burden.

Oh cool! Yeah, I’ll send you a primate zap with my signal info. I’ve got a couple of s9s too that I’ve modified a little bit if you are still into trying one of those too. They’re super loud and inefficient though. I’d recommend the nano 3 first.
