What Pool can we mine at for POW? Is there a blockchain?
EDIT: Finished reading Whitepaper, answer found:
PROOF OF WORK
Apart from staking Shard in a wallet or a staking pool, at launch there was also the possibility of PoW (Proof of Work) mining. The block reward in the 1-1000 range of blocks was 5 Shard, while those between 1001-5000 were 20 Shard each.
However as the current block is now above 5000, the mining reward element of the Shard coin has ended. The date stamp for the first PoS-only block (5001) was 19-03=2018.
PoS is now the exclusive blockchain validator and the only method of generating new Shard coins.
