Known Bitcoin Pools

Known Bitcoin mining pool coinbase tags and coinbase output addresses.

For maintainability, the data is defined as a JSON-file per pool in the pools/ folder. For each pool, the following information is included in the JSON file:

{
  "id": 7,
  "name": "Example Pool",
  "addresses": [
    "15kDhRAcpgsugmh6mQsTcCHdvbsuYncEEV",
    "bc1qw508d6qejxtdg4y5r3zarvary0c5xw7kv8f3t4"
  ],
  "tags": [
    "/example/",
    "Example Pool"
  ],
  "link": "https://example.com"
}

The JSON files aren't intended for direct consumption by tools trying to identify mining pools. The format may change. Rather, the data in the JSON-files should be used to generate a file suitable for consumption by down-stream tools. An example is the contrib/generate-old-pools-json.py script which generates pools.json. This file was previously used to collect the coinbase tags and addresses and is still used by some tools.

The generated files can be found in the generated branch.

This repository was forked from btccom/Blockchain-Known-Pools in early 2021 and has received multiple additions and improvements:

• remove: AntPool false positives: See this comment.
• cleanup: addresses that definitely aren't coinbase output addresses
• change: all URLs to HTTPS
