Bitcoin.com.

The mining pool of Bitcoin.com, Roger Ver’s company, which backed bigger blocks and Bitcoin Cash and found Bitcoin blocks from September 2016 to April 2021.

About Bitcoin.com

The Bitcoin.com pool was run by Bitcoin.com, the company of Roger Ver, an early Bitcoin investor who wanted Bitcoin to allow bigger blocks. Its first block, 430,757, was found on 21 September 2016. Ver said then that the pool was the first step in his plan to raise Bitcoin’s block size limit, and it ran Bitcoin Unlimited, software that lets each node choose the largest block it will accept. He opened it to everyone on 7 March 2017, and that spring it found about one block in forty.

On 1 August 2017 Bitcoin Cash split off from Bitcoin as a separate coin, and Ver became one of its backers. From 10 November 2017 the pool’s Bitcoin blocks carried the words “Use Bitcoin Cash”. By 2019 it mined both coins, and miners could have it switch between them; the blocks here are Bitcoin’s. It paid its miners by pay per share, or PPS: a set amount for each piece of work they sent, whether or not the pool found a block. So each of its blocks paid the whole reward to a Bitcoin.com address, and the pool paid its miners separately. These are payments to the pool’s miners, separate from the transactions confirmed inside the block.

Its last Bitcoin block, 679,929, was found on 20 April 2021. In December 2021 CriptoNoticias reported that the pool had apparently gone offline in July 2021, that it hadn’t come back, and that the reason wasn’t clear. Bitcoin.com still runs a wallet and a news site, but a block found by its pool doesn’t mean the transactions inside it went through Bitcoin.com.

What this means for your payment

When a block containing your payment joins the Bitcoin blockchain, your payment gets its first confirmation. Later blocks add confirmations, whichever pool finds them. The pool name does not identify the sender or recipient of your payment.
