Small miners welcome: NerdMiner, Bitaxe and other small devices can connect, and the pool gives them the lowest share difficulty (1). A Bitaxe shows up within minutes. A NerdMiner at around 300 kH/s finds a share every few hours on average. While it waits, it still shows as connected.
No account: Your BTC address is your login, both for mining and for checking on your machines.
Direct payouts: When the pool finds a block, your share is sent straight to your address by the Bitcoin network. A share too small to pay out is recorded and added to a later payout. The pool never holds your bitcoin.
PPLNS: The reward is split according to the shares each miner sent recently.
1% fee: Taken by the operator on each block found. See the fee address and the live payout split.
