BATPOOL

BATPOOL (batpool.com)

BATPOOL is the name associated with the domain batpool.com, which—based on third‑party site summaries and historical WHOIS metadata—was presented in the mid‑2010s as a cryptocurrency mining pool, marketed in Chinese as a “stable Bitcoin mining pool,” with references to Bitcoin and Litecoin mining and common ASIC hardware of that era.

Miner–validator categorization (context)

In Bitcoin, “validator” is not a standard role label (Bitcoin uses Proof‑of‑Work mining rather than Proof‑of‑Stake validation). In that sense, BATPOOL’s identifiable footprint aligns more clearly with mining‑pool operation than with “validator” in the PoS meaning. (en.wikipedia.org)

Current status (important limitation)

At the time of checking (March 6, 2026), batpool.com did not yield readable HTML content through this crawler view, so the site’s current operator, ownership, supported coins, or whether the pool is active cannot be confirmed from the website content here. (batpool.com)
