Title: When did the 1st btc mining pool pop up? Post by: hl5460 on August 14, 2014, 07:39:26 AM I did some search but no luck. I am guessing around 2011?

I always thought it was Slush in 2010. Title: Re: When did the 1st btc mining pool pop up? Post by: Bitsaurus on August 15, 2014, 09:22:17 AM I'm pretty sure it was Slush. And the original GUIMiner by Kiv pretty much shows his pool as the default in his original tutorial.

One of the early ones for me but not earliest ( I think ) Started mining there early 2011 and paid thrugh Paypal. Closed when Paypal started giving them the evil eye. Memory fails me so don't remember much more, using 3870's and CPU's + early modified GUIMiner? Google and see what you can find. ref: https://bitcointalk.org/?action=profile%3bu=4710%3bsa=showPosts http://www.techpowerup.com/forums/threads/compute4cash-its-a-trap-or-not.140579/ And yes I'm an old dog, thank you... ::) Regards Title: Re: When did the 1st btc mining pool pop up? Post by: organofcorti on August 22, 2014, 02:07:33 AM Earliest pool software (I think) was puddinpop's pool software first introduced here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1458.0
First pool: doublec was running a pool in October 2010: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1458.msg17340#msg17340 (Edit: although I'm not at all sure that was a public pool. However the OP didn't ask for the first public pool, so this one is definitely the earliest of which I know). Title: Re: When did the 1st btc mining pool pop up? Post by: guitarplinker on August 22, 2014, 01:42:14 PM I think it's safe to say that Slush's Pool is the oldest pool that's still around today. Didn't realize there were older pools though.
