Title: BitcoinsInIreland.com Mining Pool Rankings for January 2015
Post by: jammers on February 15, 2015, 07:31:47 PM
Hi all,

Thanks to the awesome people over at Blocktrail, we've been given a ton of information on mining pools that have mined blocks, since day 1 of the bitcoin protocol on 3rd January 2009. I'll be writing up some retrospectives on this a little later, but to start off with, I have the figures January 2015.

Some more information, and the data behind it is available at http://bitcoinsinireland.com/bitcoin-mining-rankings-january-2015/

Top level figures (in Euro)

6429 blocks of 25 bitcoin each, a total of 160,725 coins mined, worth €34,417,651.5 when using the Google bitcoin price at time of publication (€214.14 / 15/02/2015)

Enjoy!

Jamie

What criteria are you using for ranking the pools?  It looks like you're just showing which pool solved the most blocks.  Does your blog post and/or the chart imply that because Discus Fish solved the most blocks in January, then they are the highest ranked pool?

Also, you've seen organofcorti's post on weekly pool statistics here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=77000.0 haven't you?

Thanks for any clarifications.
