Could you please elaborate on the concept of a cryptocurrency mining pool? As a practitioner in the field of cryptocurrency and finance, I'm curious to understand how these pools function. Specifically, I'm interested in knowing what benefits they offer miners, how they distribute rewards, and how they ensure security and fairness in the mining process. Additionally, I'd like to know if these pools are centralized or decentralized and if there are any risks involved in joining one. Your insights on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

When a mining pool is successful in mining a block and receives a reward, that reward is not kept by a single miner.
