One of the largest mining pools BTC.com created by Bitmain, extends its offering by adding processing to the Ethereum and Ethereum Classic networks.
BTC.com who last year processed 21% of all found bitcoin blocks, said in a press release that now the mining pool will offer new customers services through its portal pool.btc.com, and will offer blockchain Explorer Ethereum and API. The service will allow miners to switch their hashing power from one pool to another, depending on market conditions.
This move is part of an effort to "help Ethereum scale its mining infrastructure," the statement said BTC.com mmm.
Bitmain project Director Jun Zhuang said The firm hopes to" expand the Ethereum network by relaying rewards through the Full Pay Per Share system, " which rewards miners for participating in the pool.
It is noteworthy that the new pools will include mining options on the GPU and CPU, despite the fact that Bitmain released its first ASICs for Ethereum mining earlier this year.
Jun Zhuang explained that the decision to offer GPU and CPU is based on the reduced prices of the crypto market this year, adding that "GPU-based miners are universal and they are still profitable and not easily replaced in the bear market."
In the future, BTC.com may consider launching mining pools for" popular coins " like Litecoin, Zcash and Monero, although no specific plans have been announced. However, Mr. Zhuang explained that "before any new additions, the company had to consider the token network, the quality of its code, the development plan and the trading volume."
