Looks like I might have a 6 year heater at this rate on Ocean. Might have to look for a pool with a lower payout threshold.

What machine are you using
Forget yes, the apollo ii. If i was you id just solo mine to your own pool
I'll keep an eye on it to see if the threshold ticks down more. Solo mining I'd probably never find a block. At least the Apollo II is a solid node compared to the Raspberry Pi's. I tried running my Raspberry Pi with Umbrel and Start9 but both would crack out after a couple days.
Thank you for your continued input.
I was thinking about trying ViaBTC because it looks like they have a .0001 BTC payout. Still learning.
