Changes

New miner giveaway: mine 72 hours in a row on any DirectPool pool to win a NerdMiner V2, upgraded to a Bitaxe GT 801 once 50 miners mine at the same time. Draw on 7 November 2026 at 16:30 Paris time.

Bitcoin solo is now open on port 3338, with a 1% fee paid directly from the block and separate miner statistics.

Terms of use, Privacy and About DirectPool now have their own pages, linked from every page’s footer.

A floating “See your progress” link with tiny flying Bitcoin coins stays at the bottom of your screen until the miners’ progress bars come into view.

The boost page shows every miner on its way to the next draw, with a bar of hours mined out of 62 and when it gets in if it keeps mining.

Fixed Bitcoin miners that stopped mining but still showed as connected for days. They now show as offline once their connection closes.

Under every pool address you can now see your live ping to each of our servers, updated every second, and ask for a new server location with the "Request a new server location" button. A requested server is up a day later.

New North America server in Chicago. Pool addresses now show the server closest to you, and you can switch servers in one click. Every server mines the same pool, with the same payouts.

To enter the boost draw, mine at least 62 hours in the 72 hours before each draw. Up to 10 hours of downtime is allowed, in one break or several. Mining hours add up across breaks: a stop does not reset your progress.

Every miner now has its own page. Click "Your miner" at the top of any page (or press /), paste your Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash address, and see each machine, its hashrate, your last day, what the next block pays you and your boost draw ticket, live.

The boost draw link at the top of every page now reads "FREE HASHRATE", and the boost page explains what the winner gets on each pool.

New hashrate boost draw: every 3 days one miner, Bitcoin or Bitcoin Cash, wins extra hashrate on their address until the next draw. Live wheel, countdown and a check for your address.

A small box above "Connect a machine" on the Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash pool pages shows the time left to the next boost draw and the last winner. The boost page also has a boost history: each winner and how much hashrate the boost gave them.

The Changes page is easier to read: bigger dates that stay in view while you scroll, more room between changes, and page names instead of web addresses.

The coin switch at the top shows each coin in its own colour, so the Bitcoin Cash side is easy to spot.
