Title: Islamic mining pools?
Post by: Hakim1986 on June 27, 2011, 07:58:05 PM
Salam.

I wondered if there are any islamic mining pools. Solo mining is no option for me, as I think pool mining is the only option that is conform with the principles of Islamic Banking (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_bank#Principles): sharing of profit and loss.

Are there any islamic mining pools, where I can share my profit with other muslims?


Shukran jazilan, everybody  :)

All pools share that philosophy. People pool up so they can get more regular payments, the amount you mine is purely based on how fast your video card is. No pools have any religious or other purpose that I've seen.

Yep, I really doubt that there are some as well... But you may wait until more Muslim countries will be involved in this process.
You just have to understand that people from other religions may be honest as well and even share some of your principles...

salaam alaikum wa rahmatullah, brother! message me if you want to bounce some business ideas off each other, or just talk! I just got started with bitcoin and bought my first last week. Right now I'm speculating the market.. just holding on to them. Inshallah, I will get a new desktop and mine in the near future.

ma salaam

I don't think bitcoin cares what religion you are.

I dont think there is a need for islamic pools, the coins from pools are halal/kosher/permissible.

you are welcome to join us in our project ( islamic bank of bitcoin) , we hope you invest in it.



Salam,

Very interesting project, will invest in the future when I have the bitcoins (currently mining).
Maybe there's anything I can help with?

Syukran

Mining has nothing to do with profit or loss. Its not like investing in a shares fund or some other other equity. So I really don't see what the issue is?

But yeah I second what someone else has said. Bitcoin is for the free world, it certainly doesn't care what religion you are!

English speaking Muslims are all in europe.

I doubt that you'll get any good bit-reception, or whatever.

So, does anyone established any Islamic pools? So, you know, after the Aljazira report muslims have to think about bitcoin lot-lot more...
