DirectPoolWin a minerGiveawayDRAW IN7 Nov · 16:30

The Bitcoin mining pool for small miners. Paid straight from the block.

Point a NerdMiner, a Bitaxe or a full ASIC at DirectPool. When the pool finds a block, the block itself pays every miner, minus a 1% fee. No account, and every number can be checked.

Total pool hashrate, Bitcoin mainnet

Your miner

Enter the BTC address set on your machines.

Shows the hashrate of every machine using your address, how many are online, their last share and your unpaid balance.

Nothing to sign up for. Your address is enough, and the page keeps it in the link so you can bookmark it.

How it works

01Small miners welcome
NerdMiner, Bitaxe and other small devices get the lowest share difficulty (1). A Bitaxe shows up within minutes. A NerdMiner at about 300 kH/s sends a share every few hours and shows as connected while it waits.
02No account
Your BTC address is your login, both for mining and for checking on your machines.
03Paid by the block
When the pool finds a block, your part is sent straight to your address by the Bitcoin network. The pool never holds your bitcoin.
04Small amounts carry over
A share too small to pay out is recorded and added to a later payout.
05PPLNS
The reward is split according to the shares each miner sent recently. How PPLNS pays.
061% fee
Taken by the operator on each block found. See the fee address and the live payout split.
