I got my first deposit from the mining pool! It was for 0.0504437 ETH, which I'm now referring to as more or less a nickel of ETH (0.05) valued at, as of the writing of this post, $88.07 USD.
The pool has some deposit rules. First is one that is user optional. You can pick the min value that will be automatically deposited to you wallet. It ranges from 10 ETH ($17460.00) to 0.1 ETH ($174.60). The pool will only make one deposit per 24hr period. The second is that anything over 0.05, what I'm calling a nickel and the amount it looks like I'll get most often with my current setup, will be deposited once per week. The third rule is that if you do not get to 0.05 you will have whatever amount you have accumulated deposited to your wallet once every two weeks.
The money has gone to my wallet and been verified. I could convert it into USD and withdraw it to my bank account, but for now I'm leaving it there. I think ETH is going to bounce. For the most part I don't want to speculate and just pull what I have into USD, but I think ETH has a pretty strong bounce going on based on their EIP 1559 announcement, which is bad for miners but really good for investors, traders and users. I figure that's good for a nice bounce in value. I'll pull once that effect has played out.
