First time miner, just bought an Avalon Nano 3S but I am yet to make an important decision in terms of which pool to join, for a consistent payout with minimal trust and preferably no KYC.
So far I found only two choices here both presenting their own blockers.
Braiins Pool
On chain payout threshold is huge for a small-time miner like me, probably it will take more than a year to hit it, and even the amount is so small that I will lose out on fee.
For custodial lightning, it seems they are not supporting coinos (my wallet is there), in an email they recommended Satoshi wallet, but apparently it needs a KYC.
Ocean Pool
On-chain payout presents the same challenge as above.
Apparently, lightning needs something called Bolt12 wallet (not sure what it means and how to get it) or running my lightning node (challenging for a noob, I am trying to learn, but would not tie my mining reward with it).
So any recommendation here? What method will be easier for me to set up with minimal risk or technical barrier? I am open to suggestions on other pools as well so long as there is a fair reward.
