Can it work with Nimiq Desktop Miner (Windows)?

Skypool used to have their custom communication protocol between the miners and the pool which made them incompatible with the ‘standard’ communication protocol all the other pools and mining clients use. I’m not sure whether this has changed over time because it’s very quiet around everything that is happening with the pool.

You can give it a try with Nimiq Desktop. The proper host and port information can be found here: https://www.yuque.com/skypool/nimiq-doc/wsw3g4

EDIT:

Read this information which tells me it should be compatible with Nimiq Desktop. Based on this I would try the following based on your location:
Hosts:

sh1.nimiq.skypool.xyz
hk1.nimiq.skypool.org
eu1.nimiq.skypool.org
us1.nimiq.skypool.org

The port is 5000 as stated in the quote above.

hk1.nimiq.skypool.org:5000 = Nimpool.io
(however, it seems not to pay out well compared to ap.nimpool.io:8444)
