Hello Komu,

Mining cryptocurrencies is not a walk in the park. However, you get rewards for mining the cryptos.
Cryptocurrency miners often find this venture challenging as you have to incur so many costs.
 A single mining pool is usually shared by several miners who contribute their resources to make the mining successful. The rewards they get are generally shared amongst them. 
A cryptocurrency miner should check on various factors before selecting a certain mining pool. 
You should check the clarity of the pool by the person operating it. The pool operator needs to perform some operations equitably so that there are trust and transparency among the miners.
You also need to access the pool stability before you join. Some security factors you need to check are such as the connection the pool offers, and how it can protect you if hackers attack.
Another factor you need to check is how a pool assigns tasks to its miners. You need to know whether the pool distributes work fairly among the miners.
Whether the devices you use to mine are amicable to the pool is another factor you need to consider. You need to know which pool will support the software you have and the ones that cannot. 
Another essential factor you ought to check is the costs you will incur while using a certain pool.
