  1. Hashrate is given in gigahash/second.
  2. Note that pool hashrate is largely irrelevant but can be seen as a popularity measurement. Note however that it is a theoretical security issue if one pool gains above 50% of the total computational power of the network, thus consider joining a pool based on other metrics.
  3. Auditing can be accomplished by third-parties if the pool publishes proofs-of-work for every share.
  4. Donations are possible
  5. Donations are possible to unlock features
  6. Access to Eligius proofs-of-work is available on request.
