How to choose a mining pool
The main factors are fees, payout scheme, minimum payout threshold, server latency to your farm and trust in the operator. FPPS pools pay steady revenue for every valid share, which most professional miners prefer. PPLNS pools pay more when the pool gets lucky but less when it does not. Very large pools smooth variance but concentrate network power; smaller pools and non-custodial options like OCEAN trade a little convenience for decentralization.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Bitcoin mining pool is the largest?
Foundry USA has been the largest Bitcoin mining pool for several years, typically controlling around a quarter to a third of the global network hashrate, followed by AntPool and F2Pool. The live table on this page shows the current ranking.
Which mining pool has the lowest fees?
Fees range from 0% to about 4%. Some pools like Foundry USA and MARA Pool serve institutional or in-house miners with special terms, while public pools like Trustpool (1%) or Luxor (2.5%) publish flat fees. A lower fee is not always better if payouts, stability or minimum thresholds are worse.
How is network share calculated?
Network share is a pool's hashrate divided by the combined hashrate of all pools tracked on this page. Because hashrate cannot be measured directly, it is estimated from the number of blocks each pool finds and the current difficulty.
