GorillaPool's site calls itself a BSV mining pool, offers a “2% pool fee with daily payouts”, and says it is one of the only pools “actively working with the Teranode team”[1]. Its gorillapool.io page describes a “Permissionless Stratum interface between your ASICs and a BSV node” with PPLNS and direct payouts[2].
