 I gave up on braiins. They were straight robbing me. 
 Why robbing ? 
 I ran bunch of S19j pros using their OS and in their pool, the scoring HR was like 25% lower than a stock S19j pro. When I asked them about this and showed their support the data, they blocked me from the telegram chat line. 
 I created a new telegram account, tried to access support again, thinking it was accidental, then they blocked my second account. 
 Have you tried to reach them out via email ? 
 It was over a year ago, I had emails back and forth and even spoke with one of their support members on a web conf. After some troubleshooting and no luck, the blocked me. After they blocked me the second time, I just decided it wasn't worth any more of my time. 
 Yeah, customer service in bitcoin companies sucks ! 
 Customer service is one thing, but this hit different than just incompetence. 
 It was sad because I really liked their OS and dashboard. I had several personal friends who had great experience with them, but that wasn't the case for me. 
 Did u ever share it publicly?

(not sure if it’s possible without doxxing.) 
 I tried on Twitter back then but my Twitter was nuked during the whole Elon thing. It was easier just to move on and learn from it. 
 Is there any pool to recommend now that supports stratum v2 and lighting payments? 
 I'm not aware of one, I really like lincoin though. Why do you need lightning payment capability from your pool of choice? 
 Less fees and more routine payments when your hashpower contribution is low. 
 You don't pay the fee though. The fee is paid by the sender. 
 Just like all BTC payments. 
 I was under the impression that some pools push a portion of the fees onto the miners in the payouts. Maybe I’m mistaken. Anyway, privacy is another benefit. 
 Check out paynyms for privacy. They shouldn't be charging the miners for the fees, you pay a flat percentage to them already.
