Review on AntPool by Benaiah A. Akinlade
Antpool Miner
The Antpool team is located in China and it is owned by Bitmain company.
Antpool is one of the largest mining pools around. It is open access. It supports 10 cryptocurrencies and offers an application which monitors the hash rate of users.
Miners on Antpool can earn through a calculation that depends on the amount of hash power that a user contributes.
Antpool supports different earning modes like PPS, Pay Per Last N Shares, PPS+, and SOLO.
Miners can opt for peer to peer solo mine hardware with a 1% fee.
Only one transaction can be made per day if the amount is more than 0.001 btc.
Allegations have have been made against Antpool by several companies that they use elements that is damaging to the bitcoin network.
It’s location in China makes its availability difficult.
After downloading the Antpool iOS app, I found it interesting and interactive. Although I’ve not been able to find out if mining can be done on mobile devices. All the mining gauges are still at zero, but I’ll keep probing till I can get the gauges running and start mining
