What is CloverPool
CloverPool, formerly BTC.com pool, is a multi-coin mining pool for Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Litecoin with merged-mined coins such as Dogecoin, and other proof-of-work coins. The BTC.com team started in 2015 and opened the pool in 2016. The pool says it introduced the FPPS payout method.
Coins, payout schemes and fees
| Coin | Payout scheme | Pool fee | Minimum payout |
|---|---|---|---|
| BTC | FPPS | 4% (base fee) | 0.005 BTC (can be raised to 0.01, 0.1 or 1 BTC) |
| BCH | FPPS | 4% (base fee) | 0.0000546 BCH |
| LTC | FPPS | 2% (base fee) | 0.001 LTC |
| DOGE | PPS | 2% (base fee) | 1 DOGE |

Payouts
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Payout schedule | Earnings for the previous day are settled at 00:00 UTC and paid out within about two hours. |
| Payout scheme explained | FPPS adds an estimated transaction-fee share to the block reward and pays the total per share; the pool says its team created this method. |
| Merged mining | Merged mining is offered alongside Litecoin (see the fee table for coins such as BELLS, PEP and LKY); ELA merged mining ends on 5 November 2026. |
Connecting
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Server regions | US, EU and Southeast Asia stratum servers for BTC. |
| Protocol | Stratum over TCP (port 1800; backup ports 443 and 3333). |
| Account needed | Yes; miners connect through a sub-account in a registered CloverPool account and add a payout address to it. |
Security and transparency
- Optional two-factor authentication with a six-digit code from an authenticator app; it is off by default.
- Watcher links share a sub-account's hashrate and earnings without allowing changes.
- The pool says it separates data reading from writing and uses Cloudflare for DDoS protection.
