DPOOL.

DPOOL, called 龙池 (Longchi) in Chinese, was a mining poolMining poolA group of miners who share the work of finding blocks and split the rewards, so each gets paid steadily instead of rarely. in China for Bitcoin, Ethereum and other coins; the blocks here are its Bitcoin blocks. Its website, dpool.top, gave an office address in Chaoyang District, Beijing, and named Jiaheweilai (佳禾未来) in its copyright line. BitUN, a crypto-wallet company that partnered with it, said in June 2018 that the pool had been set up in November 2017.

Its first Bitcoin block, 515,912, was found on 31 March 2018, and its busiest month was January 2019, when it found about one block in twenty. Each of its blocks paid the whole reward to one DPOOL address, and the pool paid its miners from there. BitUN said it paid them by full pay per share, or FPPS: a set amount for each piece of work they sent, counting transaction fees too, whether or not the pool found a block. These are payments to the pool’s miners, separate from the transactions confirmed inside the block.

Its last Bitcoin block, 575,484, was found on 11 May 2019, and it has found none since. No announcement saying why has been found; its website stayed online into 2021.
