BritPool is now live at
https://BritPool.com offering solo Bitcoin Cash (BCH) mining with absolutely zero fees.
We've deliberately aimed the pool at hobbyists. We've got a professional background in IT, but we're not trying to be huge or anything. We just want to provide a highly available, high-performance mining pool at zero cost to other hobbyist miners.

Website & live statisticshttps://britpool.comWe offer both standard and encrypted stratum ports. Full details of how to connect your miner can be found on the homepage.
As you would expect, the site provides a statistics page so the performance of your individual miner(s) can be monitored.
The site also provides the usual live pool statistics, including:
- Current pool hashrate
- Connected miners/workers
- Blocks found
- Etc.
The pool's stats are also exposed via a public API, which is currently used to independently list us and our performance in near real time on MiningBoard:
https://miningboard.com/pools/britpool.comAnyone who uses Gabe Pena's (excellent!) HashWatcher app will also find us recognised if you monitor your rig on HashWatcher and point your miner at our pool.
🔧 Infrastructure and IntegrityBritPool (as the name suggests) is both hosted and independently operated in the UK 🇬🇧, but has been successfully tested with rented rigs as far away as Hong Kong 🇭🇰. You absolutely don't need to be based in the UK to mine with us.
On the subject of testing, we've tested both the integrity of the pool (including the zero-fee mechanism), and the underlying infrastructure, using both regtest and testnet4. The test results have been published at
https://britpool.com/testresults/ Additionally, the integrity of the pool is independently validated several times a day and the results published on GitHub - you can find full details of how we do this, and how you can verify the pool's integrity yourself at
https://britpool.com/verify/💬 DiscordYou're free to join our (nascent!) Discord server for miners and anyone interested in the project:
https://discord.gg/dWrg9PUs6mDiscord users will receive automatic notifications whenever their miner hits a new record or someone finds a block. Full disclosure... as a new pool we've not found one... yet.
Anyway, please do come and say, "Hello", and if you fancy trying a new pool, feel free (literally) to give us a try... no matter where you are in the world.
