I strongly recommend new miners to join Slush Pool despite it not being one of the biggest pools. It was the first Bitcoin mining pool and remains one of the most reliable and trusted pools, especially for beginners.
1. BTC.com BTC.com is a public mining pool that can be joined. However, we strongly recommend joining Slush Pool instead.
2. Antpool Antpool is a mining pool based in China and owned by BitMain. Antpool mines about 25% of all blocks.
3. ViaBTC ViaBTC is a somewhat new mining pool that has been around for about one year. It’s targeted towards Chinese miners.
4. Slush Slush was the first mining pool and currently mines about 3% of all blocks.
Slush is probably one of the best and most popular mining pools despite not being one of the largest.
5. F2pool DiscusFish, also known as F2Pool, is based in China. F2Pool has mined about 5-6% of all blocks over the past six months.
6. BTC.top BTC.top is a private pool and cannot be joined.
7. Bitclub.Network Bitclub Network is a large mining pool but appears to be somewhat shady. We recommend staying away from this pool.
8. BTCC BTCC is a pool and also China’s third largest Bitcoin exchange. Its mining pool currently mines about 7% of all blocks.
9. Bitfury Bitfury is a private pool that cannot be joined. Bitfury currently mines about 2% of all blocks.
10. BW Pool BW, established in 2014, is another mining company based in China. It currently mines about 2% of all blocks.
