BTC mining has evolved from CPU to GPU and finally to ASIC, setting off a hardware “arms race”. As more advanced mining chips are introduced, the hashrate of mining rigs has been on the rise, making mining significantly more difficult. Meanwhile, hashrates are centralized by big mining farms and large institutions, and retail miners are now less likely to win the right of block updating solely relying on their own hashrates. To stay in the game, more and more miners choose to join a mining pool for steady streams of mining revenue.
When choosing a mining pool from the many pools out there, miners should account for the following factors. To begin with, miners could focus on brand recognition because famous pools are often highly recognized by the miner community, which is a sign of reliability. Secondly, the user experience of the products and services of a pool is also a major factor. This is the case because a versatile product range enables more efficient and convenient mining experiences. In addition, brand recognition, products and services are all backed by the tech capacity of the team behind a pool. Strong tech capacity allows a pool to offer a more stable mining environment, which safeguards the mining revenue to the greatest extent possible.
6 years of solid actions: ViaBTC is reliable and trustworthy
In March 2016, Haipo Yang, ViaBTC’s founder, independently developed and deployed ViaBTC Pool, which was officially launched two months later. In June that year, ViaBTC Pool introduced a BTC pool. To improve the mining revenue, the pool revolutionized the conventional payment methods and invented PPS+, which was the first of its kind in the mining industry. Apart from the block reward, under PPS+, miners will also receive the daily miner fee according to their contribution. This invention not only earned ViaBTC extensive recognition from miners and mining institutions, but also made this pool one of the world’s top 5 by BTC hashrate in less than 5 months since it was launched.
As an all-inclusive crypto mining pool serving a global user base, ViaBTC has always adhered to the principles of security, transparency, fairness, and freedom. Through 6 years of dedicated efforts, the pool has introduced mining services for dozens of cryptos, including BTC, ETH, and LTC, and the invention of PPS+ has earned ViaBTC extensive brand recognition in the miner community. It is now one of the preferred pools among miners.
6 years of constant product iteration: ViaBTC insists on innovation
Providing satisfying mining experiences to attract more miners has always been a challenge facing mining pools. Always offering new products and services, ViaBTC insists on innovation and has illustrated what the proverb “good wine needs no bush” means via real actions.
For instance, the pool upgraded Transaction Acceleration and offers free and paid channels to meet the demand of more miners. With ViaBTC’s Hashrate Fluctuation Notification, miners no longer have to keep track of their hashrate and will be notified when the hashrate drops to the set threshold. Moreover, ViaBTC also launched Hedging Service and Crypto Loans to help miners with the turnover of funds, allowing them to deal with their funds more flexibly under extreme market conditions.
Always focused on miners’ interests, ViaBTC insists on product innovation and has built a full set of matching products and services to enable more efficient and convenient mining experiences.
