added some precisions about the consequences of the pool not sending enough gas.

| May 6, 2016 at 17:42 | comment | added | Nicolas Massart | I also asked directly by making a ticket on Ethermine support site and the answer is "yes but please keep in mind that if the contract sends the funds back for whatever reason they will be sent back to the pool's account and we will be unable to do any automatic refunds." | |

| May 4, 2016 at 6:05 | comment | added | tayvano | The difference is that with a pool you are relying on the pool to pass along the ETH via a standard transaction. Since contracts take more gas, it may run into an 'out of gas' exception (although some pools may support it or send more gas). The mining rewards can be delivered directly to a contract, but the mining pool / operator might screw it up. It sounds like OP would be collecting mining rewards directly, not via a pool. | |
| May 4, 2016 at 6:01 | comment | added | Nicolas Massart | I'm confused because you say yes and then quote "When mining through a pool, it is once again safer to use an Account to receive your reward as the pool operator may not specify enough gas to cover sending to a Contract Wallet." which for me is a no. | |
