okpool.top.

okpool.top is the name mempool.space gives to blocks labelled “www.okpool.top”, usually with “vip” or “hongkong” in front. They were found between 27 December 2018 and 30 December 2019. No website, company or announcement for it has been found, and the Internet Archive holds no copy of the site.

It found only a couple of blocks before June 2019 and most in its last two months: in December 2019 it found 153, about one block in 30. mempool.space credits it with 313 in all. Each block’s first transaction paid the whole reward to one address, separate from the transactions confirmed inside the block.

From 14 November 2019 its blocks paid their rewards to the same address, which OKEx Pool, the 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. of the OKEx exchange, now called OKX, went on to use. okpool.top’s last block, 610,381, came just after midnight UTC on 30 December 2019. Eight and a half hours later block 610,435, the first that mempool.space credits to OKEx Pool, paid that address with the same kind of label: “vip/www.okex.com” in place of “vip/www.okpool.top”. OKEx Pool’s blocks kept paying it until its last, in January 2022. OKX, which had launched its mining pool in October 2018, closed it in February 2024; it hasn’t said whether okpool.top was its pool.
