Team Mining

Private or public teams mining together as one solo unit — and splitting every block they find.

A mining team mines against the network as a single solo unit. When the team finds a block, the coinbase distributes proportionally to each member's work, minus the pool fee. The team picks how work is counted: a PROP round with a length the team sets, which can optionally reset when a block is found, or a sliding time window that always counts the last N days.

Email-anchored membership. To prevent admins from routing a victim's payouts into their team, every join requires an email-verified BTC address. No silent adds — the joining miner always confirms via a link in their inbox.

The old way vs Team Mining Traditionally a small group mining together had to trust an admin — or a small group of admins with a shared multisig wallet — to manually distribute the block reward to each member after a block was found. Blitzpool's Team Mining still has a team admin, but only for organization: inviting members and managing the team. Payouts are handled entirely by the protocol — every block found pays each member directly via the multi-output coinbase, proportional to their contributed work. No manual distribution, no shared custody.

Two ways to join a team

Open invite link — the admin generates one time-limited URL (1h–30d) and shares it in Telegram, Discord or similar. Anyone with a verified email for their address can use it to join.

Join request — public teams list themselves in the directory; you submit your address (with an optional message) and the admin approves or rejects.

When it fits

Team reward sharing without trusting a centralised pool's ledger
Public directory or invite-only — the admin picks the visibility and the right growth path
Admin-token-gated team management, rotation-safe on creator transfer

What to know

Team needs ≥ 2 active members before the team is 'active'
Variance scales with the team's combined hashrate — still solo-like for small teams
Member removal by admin gated on 14-day inactivity

How to start

Create a team from your dashboard (private by default, switch to public any time). Grow it via an open invite link you share in your community channels, or — if public — by approving join requests from the public directory. New members must first bind + verify an email; routing is address-driven, so any port works.

Same stratum port as Solo. Routing is address-driven: connect your miner and the pool looks up your team by BTC address automatically.

Stratum V2 is auto-negotiated on the same port — no separate endpoint.
