Rabid Pool

XBT NETWORK CHECK
XBT network check · live

Every XBT pool, checked against one node : one address.

Rabid Pool's standard is one miner, one DATUM node, one address: every miner builds their own blocks on their own node. That is my standard, not a network rule. No XBT rule enforces it today; the closest is a planned Knots change (PR #419, step 3) to withhold rewards from blocks a pool builds for stratum miners, which is not in force yet. This page checks every pool against that standard from public facts only: the XBT chain, and each pool's own published numbers.

Where the hashrate is

Each block counts once. Blocks found are proportional to hashrate, so a share of blocks is an estimate of a share of hashrate (small pools are noisy).

Rabid Pool, checkable by anyone

The same standard as every pool above, applied to my own: nothing here is taken on trust. Every address that mined with Rabid Pool in the last 10 minutes is listed with its share of the work. Each one is also paid in the coinbase of every block the pool finds, so you can match this table against the chain on mempool.guide.

Hashrate is estimated from accepted shares over 10 minutes (difficulty × 232 ÷ 600 s). Only addresses are shown: no worker names, IP addresses or gateway identifiers. The pool does not record which address a gateway mines for, so gateways and addresses are counted separately, the same way the other pools publish them.

XBT nodes

How this is worked out

  • The standard. One miner, one DATUM node, one address is Rabid Pool's standard. Many pools document one gateway paying several miners' addresses (the DATUM setting pool_pass_full_users), and no XBT rule forbids it today. The only official plan in sight is step 3 of Knots PR #419: withhold rewards for blocks a pool builds for stratum miners, planned for around the end of the year and not implemented yet. This page shows facts against the standard; it does not say any pool's miners will lose their rewards.
  • Addresses, not people. A gateway carrying several addresses may be one owner paying several of their own wallets, or a gateway mining for other people. Public data cannot tell which, so the page counts addresses and never claims who owns them.
  • Like for like only. Gateways online now are compared with addresses hashing now. A payout window also holds miners whose gateway stopped recently (they earned it), so a window count is shown but never compared with gateways.
  • Counting noise. The two numbers are sampled moments apart and a miner restarting a gateway can be counted on one side only, so a pool may exceed its gateways by 2, or 5% above 40 gateways, before it is called a mismatch.
  • Partly published. A pool that shows its gateways but lists only its top addresses gets "at least N addresses", never a made-up total.
  • One address per block. A DATUM block paying one address is a fact on chain. Whose address it is cannot be seen on chain, so it is never called anyone's wallet.
  • Not DATUM. A block with a classic stratum coinbase was not built by a miner's own DATUM node: either a pool built it for several addresses, or a node or pool stratum paid one address.
  • Stratum V1 ports. Every 10 minutes we connect to each pool's public stratum port without logging in and ask for work. It is marked open only if the job it hands out is for the current XBT block (XBT's stratum hides the previous block hash, so we compute the hidden value from our own node and compare). An open port lets miners mine on the pool's node instead of their own. It is listed as a fact, not a verdict.
  • Pool names come from the block tags. "(tag only)" means the tag does not match a known pool.
  • Today's lock rule: a block reward on XBT can be spent 6,480 blocks after it is found.
  • The code is public. Everything on this page is built by the checker at gitlab.com/rabidmining/xbt-network-check (AGPL-3.0): read it, run it against your own node, and compare.
  • We run Rabid Pool and it is checked by exactly the same code as everyone else. If a number here is wrong, tell us on Discord and it gets fixed.
