Lazarus Mining Pool XBT

BLAKE2b Bitcoin (XBT/BTCB2) mining. Your node. Your block templates. 0% own-gateway DATUM fee + a variable bonus. Paid on-chain. Lazarus Pool.

Decentralization starts with who builds the block.

Lazarus Pool exists to put that power in miners' hands.

We mine BLAKE2b Bitcoin (XBT/BTCB2), with a simple mission: more independent nodes, more miners building their own block templates.

Node tonight. Mining tomorrow.

Knots syncs, the gateway connects, the miner points at it.

DATUM came from OCEAN.

Simple idea: the pool handles payouts, your node picks the transactions. We run it on Bitcoin, mined with blake2b.

[Lazarus Mining Pool XBT @LazarusPoolXBT]

Don't trust the pool. Verify the coinbase.

Every Lazarus payout is on-chain: https://t.co/EO3Iscs1FO

Space heater with a side hustle:
one blake2b miner, a Knots node, a DATUM gateway.

Warm feet. You built the block.

Lazarus right now: 15.3 PH/s, about 27% of the network.
199 miners building their own templates. (7 Nov, 1:30 PM CT)

A few pools building most blocks isn't decentralization.

A few hundred home nodes building them is. That's what DATUM is for.

[Lazarus Mining Pool XBT @LazarusPoolXBT]

Feels like 2012 again.

Home miners. Nodes on old laptops. Block templates built in living rooms.

[Lazarus Mining Pool XBT @LazarusPoolXBT]

Already mining on a pool? Keep the hardware.

Add a Knots node and a DATUM gateway, repoint the miner.
Same box. Now it votes.

Build blocks you can tell your grandkids about.

Knots node. DATUM gateway. Any blake2b miner.

SHA-256 boxes can't mine here. The proof of work is blake2b.

Shopping for a miner? Check the algorithm first.

[Lazarus Mining Pool XBT @LazarusPoolXBT]

Every block Lazarus finds pays miners straight from the coinbase.
No pool wallet. No IOUs.

Junk PC. Knots node. DATUM gateway.
One blake2b miner humming in the closet.

That's a Bitcoin miner. No data center required.

[Lazarus Mining Pool XBT @LazarusPoolXBT]

99% of our hash right now is miners building their own block templates with DATUM.

138 gateways. 188 miners. (28 Oct, 1:30 PM CT)

[Lazarus Mining Pool XBT @LazarusPoolXBT]

Same ledger since 2009. On 30 Aug the proof of work changed: SHA-256 out, blake2b in.

The white paper says "such as with SHA-256." An example, not a rule.

@Awoken_Lazarus: "If your definition of Bitcoin is the white paper from Satoshi, this is Bitcoin."

Gateway operators: update your DATUM gateway

Some gateways on this pool run an out-of-date DATUM gateway. A block found through one can pay the whole reward to the pool address instead of paying each miner directly. Nobody loses that reward, but the pool has to hold those funds and pay every miner their share itself, as a make-good, once the block matures (about 45 days but could be a year). If you run a gateway, update it to a current build so your blocks pay miners directly. Questions? Join our Discord or the Knots Discord and ask for help.

I am sure other pools are having similar issues. Please update!

[Lazarus XBT - Mike Moore @Awoken_Lazarus]

If bitcoin returns to $80k-$100k+ prices, I won't say much, but there will be signs.

[Lazarus Mining Pool XBT @LazarusPoolXBT]

Does pointing a box at a pool make you a miner?

Not quite. Building the block does.
Knots node + DATUM gateway. That's the upgrade.
