Mining Pools

· based on Cryptohall24 data

This page shows the major mining pools for each coin with their share of the network hashrate, fees, payout model and minimum payout - updated daily based on data from Cryptohall24. The distribution is also a market snapshot: it shows how centralised or decentralised a network currently is.

Why pool distribution matters

A mining pool bundles the computing power of many participants and distributes block earnings proportionally - this makes payouts predictable. The distribution of shares is more than a statistic: a single, highly dominant pool is unfavourable from a network perspective, because it weakens decentralisation. Anyone choosing deliberately therefore considers fee, payout model and network share together.

Choosing a pool from Germany

For miners in Germany and Europe, alongside fee and payout model, the proximity of the stratum server matters most: low latency reduces the number of rejected shares and therefore the silent loss of yield. Many large pools operate European servers - checking the provider's server list belongs before signing up. Switching pools is possible at any time within minutes; even with hosted devices, Cryptohall24 customers retain free choice of pool.

A different picture for each coin

Every network has its own pool landscape with its own providers, fees and payout models. The detail pages show the live distribution for each coin - for example the Kaspa Mining Pools page. How pool earnings work out in concrete terms can be modelled in the Mining Calculator.

FAQ

Do you have questions? You may well find the right answer here.

Which mining pool is the largest?

This differs by coin and changes continuously. The live table above shows the current distribution of network shares per coin, updated daily based on data from Cryptohall24.

What do PPS, FPPS and PPLNS mean?

These are the common payout models: PPS pays a fixed rate for every submitted unit of computing power, FPPS additionally distributes a proportional share of transaction fees, and PPLNS distributes the blocks actually found among the participants most recently active. Fee and payout model should always be considered together.

Can I freely choose the pool with hosted devices?

Yes. Even with devices hosted by Cryptohall24, you retain full control over the pool and payout address; switching takes only a few minutes.

Is NiceHash a mining pool?

No. NiceHash is a marketplace for computing power: you rent out your hashrate to buyers, who deploy it in their own pools. Payout is usually made in Bitcoin instead of the coin actually mined.
