In yesterday’s news item about Bitcoin Subsidium mining becoming public I was commenting that we will see in future if Difficulty to mine will go up or not. Well, that future didn’t take long as based upon the amount of hash rate already there and having been increasing all the time throughout the day, doubling several times already, it is obvious difficulty will increase a lot, and fast too.

To underline this, it was less than an hour ago we noticed a message on discord about, as far as we know, the first public Bitcoin Subsidium pool.

Yes, Bluepool been existing for some time already, but it is not public as not anyone can just point to it and join it, but you need permission, controlled by Pascal, to join it.

But suitably domain named xbtx.eu is now available for anyone to join and point their machines at, although I would have preferred them to add “pool” to their name since perhaps xbtx.eu could be needed for some sort of info page one day.
