Known Bitcoin mining pool coinbase tags and coinbase output addresses.

For maintainability, the data is defined as a JSON-file per pool in the pools/ folder. For each pool, the following information is included in the JSON file:

{
  "id": 7,
  "name": "Example Pool",
  "addresses": [
    "15kDhRAcpgsugmh6mQsTcCHdvbsuYncEEV",
    "bc1qw508d6qejxtdg4y5r3zarvary0c5xw7kv8f3t4"
  ],
  "tags": [
    "/example/",
    "Example Pool"
  ],
  "link": "https://example.com"
}

The JSON files aren't intended for direct consumption by tools trying to identify mining pools. The format may change. Rather, the data in the JSON-files should be used to generate a file suitable for consumption by down-stream tools. An example is the contrib/generate-old-pools-json.py script which generates generated/pools.json. This file was previously used to collect the coinbase tags and addresses and is still used by some tools.

This repository was forked from btccom/Blockchain-Known-Pools in early 2021 and has received multiple additions and improvements:

• remove: AntPool false positives: See this comment.
• cleanup: addresses that definitely aren't coinbase output addresses
• change: all URLs to HTTPS
