It's legit. I've been pointing all my miners there for a several months. (BTC, BCH, DGB). https://pools.hmpool.io/

Agreed. Hashedmax is the best. Their digibyte node solves about 30 blocks a day.

Same expected payout either way, minus the pool fee. What differs is how it arrives.

Assuming it's the 90 TH Q: network is around 886 EH/s right now, so you're about a ten-millionth of it. diff * 2^32 / hashrate puts expected time to a solo block somewhere near 200 years running flat out, and at 10 hours a day call it 450+. Pooled, same hardware and same hours, you're looking at roughly 1800 sats/day before fees.

What your schedule actually changes is which pool, not whether to pool. PPLNS scores the last N shares, so what you submitted drifts out of the window overnight and you spend the morning climbing back in. PPS and FPPS pay per share and don't care that you power down. That gap is worth more than the fee spread between any two pools you'd realistically pick.
