The Mempool Open Source Project®

mempool-github.mp4

Mempool is the fully-featured mempool visualizer, explorer, and API service running at mempool.space.

It is an open-source project developed and operated for the benefit of the Bitcoin community, with a focus on the emerging transaction fee market that is evolving Bitcoin into a multi-layer ecosystem.

Installation Methods

Mempool can be self-hosted on a wide variety of your own hardware, ranging from a simple one-click installation on a Raspberry Pi full-node distro all the way to a robust production instance on a powerful FreeBSD server.

Most people should use a one-click install method.

Other install methods are meant for developers and others with experience managing servers. If you want support for your own production instance of Mempool, or if you'd like to have your own instance of Mempool run by the mempool.space team on their own global ISP infrastructure—check out Mempool Enterprise®.

One-Click Installation

Mempool can be conveniently installed on the following full-node distros:

• Umbrel
• RaspiBlitz
• RoninDojo
• myNode
• StartOS
• nix-bitcoin

We highly recommend you deploy your own Mempool instance this way. No matter which option you pick, you'll be able to get your own fully-sovereign instance of Mempool up quickly without needing to fiddle with any settings.

Advanced Installation Methods

Mempool can be installed in other ways too, but we only recommend doing so if you're a developer, have experience managing servers, or otherwise know what you're doing.

• See the docker/ directory for instructions on deploying Mempool with Docker.
• See the backend/ and frontend/ directories for manual install instructions oriented for developers.
• See the production/ directory for guidance on setting up a more serious Mempool instance designed for high performance at scale.

mining-pools's Issues

Combine efforts with 0xB10C/known-mining-pools

I've been maintaining a similar repository, 0xB10C/known-mining-pools. I think it would make sense to merge these two repositories at some point.

I opted for a more maintainable structure than having a large pools.json file for the tags and addresses. I'm using a JSON file per pool where a pool can have multiple tags and addresses. This is makes it much less cluttered and greatly reduces the error surface of having e.g. duplicates with slightly different names. See, for example, mara-pool.json.

{
  "name": "MARA Pool",
  "addresses": [
    "3D72db1KMCnj7FL7MBsmxTw81z2bVu4UN5",
    "3LC8dDKyBsrWPfzhXyt7aAyjXxGYkfDdHu",
    "15MdAHnkxt9TMC2Rj595hsg8Hnv693pPBB"
  ],
  "tags": [
    "MARA Pool"
  ],
  "links": [
    "https://marathondh.com/"
  ]
}

Automatically generating a pool.json file, as is used by many projects (mempool.space, miningpool.observer, forkmonitor.info, rust-bitcoin-pool-identification, ...), is done with this script. I've also set up quite a bit of automated CI for quality assurance.

I've seen that the mempool project added a slugs and I think adding this in the per-pool JSON file should be easy. As well as generating a pools.json file with the slugs as mempool.space expects them.

Let me know what you think. Also happy to move the combined repo to e.g. the @bitcoin-data organization.

Label blocks found by FutureBit devices

Got a request from jstefanop of FutureBit to label blocks found by FutureBit's Apollo devices.

The devices mine solo. They put out between 2 and 9 TH/s depending on the device and settings but supposedly there are >100,000 of these things out there.

See example of coinbase tag here.
