About DirectPool

DirectPool operates a Bitcoin PPLNS pool, a Bitcoin Cash solo pool and a Bitcoin Cash shared PPLNS pool. Home miners and larger SHA-256 machines can connect using a compatible payout address as their mining username.

On a shared pool, accepted work determines a miner’s part of a block reward. On the solo pool, the miner who finds a valid block receives its reward, after the pool fee. Mining does not guarantee a block or an income.

Miner payouts are written directly into the coinbase transaction of blocks the pool finds. DirectPool does not ask for your private keys or seed phrase. You remain responsible for the address you use and the wallet that controls it.

The Bitcoin pool fee is 1% and the Bitcoin Cash pool fee is 1%. Minimum payout and shared-pool accounting rules still apply. See the verification page for the Bitcoin engine, source patches and payout details, or the Bitcoin Cash shared pool for its rules.

The site includes live pool statistics, address-based miner pages, setup guides, miner specifications and an Arena that presents mining activity as a game. The game is a visual layer, not an additional financial reward or a change to payout accounting.

The hashrate boost draw gives qualifying miners a chance to have contributed hashrate mine for their address. Its live page explains entry requirements, the schedule and how the winner is selected.

The operator’s public contact is @directpool_io on X. Use it for pool questions, corrections, privacy requests or service issues. Never send a private key, wallet seed or password.
