TrustPool.

TrustPool’s website, app and news channel are in Russian, and it gives its payout times in Moscow time. Besides Bitcoin it mines Litecoin, Dogecoin, Bitcoin Cash, Dash, Kaspa and other coins. The site names no company behind the pool. Anton Vainerman describes himself as TrustPool’s founder and chief executive. In October 2025 the pool told its own story: its future chief executive, who calls himself Homeminer, bought his first mining machine in 2017 and started a YouTube channel of guides in 2018. Followers of the channel asked him to start a pool, and TrustPool opened in January 2019. It says more than 167,000 people use it.

Miners could point their machines at TrustPool’s Bitcoin servers by June 2023 at the latest, when its channel listed their addresses. Even so, no block carried the pool’s name until block 949,543, on 15 May 2026, whose first transaction says “/trustpool/”. TrustPool hasn’t said what happened to its miners’ Bitcoin work before then. It found 37 to 45 blocks a month from June to September 2026, and 23 in October. mempool.space, a block explorer, added TrustPool to its list of pools on 2 November 2026, and now credits it with every block since May.

TrustPool pays its miners by a method it calls PPS+. For each piece of work they send, miners get a set share of the block rewardBlock rewardWhat a block's miner earns: new bitcoin from the subsidy, plus the fees of every transaction in the block., whether or not the pool finds a block. When the pool does find one, they also share the fees paid by the transactions in it. Payouts go out once a day. So each TrustPool block’s first transaction pays the whole reward to one TrustPool address, 1PuJjnF476W3zXfVYmJfGnouzFDAXakkL4, and the pool pays its miners later. That reward is separate from the transactions the block confirms.
