Frequently asked questions

Am I charged immediately when I join?

No. Joining only places an authorization hold. Money is captured only when the pool forms.

What if the pool never fills?

The pool disbands automatically, we cancel the authorization, and the hold is released in full with no fees.

Can I leave after the pool forms?

No. Resources are purchased upstream and delivered, so exits and refunds are not available. You may leave freely before it forms.

Do I get OS login on the VPS?

Not currently. Today only the traffic quota is shared; per-user environments may come later.

How is traffic split and what happens if I exceed it?

The total is split evenly across seats. Overage follows the rule on that pool page: throttle, per-unit billing, or suspension.

Can I stay anonymous?

Yes. You can display anonymously; other members cannot see your username or email.

Is port 25 open?

All ports are open except port 25, which is blocked. Bulk mailing is prohibited.
