Pool Policy

This is a HIGHLY experimental self-hosted mining pool. It is simply a fun passion project.

Templates are generated by my own Bitcoin Knots node, reflecting my own view of mempool policy.

Why mine here?

1. Support and test my project for a little while
2. Get on the leaderboard. Chances are, this is the most exciting thing that will happen in this pool

Should you actually mine here?
In 99% of scenarios: NO!

Bitcoin is trustless; pools are not. I am just a random person on the internet, after all. Payouts are currently manual, and even future automated systems will require trust. While I can vow that payouts will be sent in the insane event of a block being found, trusting any one person with your hard-earned rewards is unwise (obviously). If you want the least trust assumptions possible, mine through established infrastructure.

This project exists to explore Tor mining, block template policy, and self-hosted Bitcoin infrastructure. That's all.

Disclaimer

This is experimental infrastructure. Do not point serious hashrate here unless you understand the risks.
