Bitcoin mining equipment manufacturer Bitmain has launched a new mining pool, it’s second after Antpool, as a part of its block explorer BTC.com’s offering. The new mining pool is open-source will not charge any fees until 2017.
Bitmain has, through its Bitcoin block explorer BTC.com, launched a new mining pool that will be open-sourced to users. With the open-source protocol, the firm hopes to foster new technical standards for mining pools and remove restrictions that otherwise limit the efficiency of mining pools.
Prior to launch, the new mining pool was put to its test to gain feedback about mining efficiency and its stability. Software simulators were used to replicate the load of up to 180,000 miners. Upon launch, the new pool demands no mining fees from users, until the end of 2016.
