BitMinter (bitminter.com)

BitMinter was a Bitcoin mining pool and related mining software project that operated from 2011 until its shutdown in 2020–2021. The project presented itself as a user-friendly entry point to Bitcoin mining, initially emphasizing ease of use compared with early command-line mining tools. (bitminter.com)
