BTCMP

BTCMP (btcmp.com) — miner / “validator” context

BTCMP (often written btcmp or “bitcoin minepool”) is best known in Bitcoin history as a Bitcoin mining pool operator (i.e., a coordinator of proof‑of‑work hashpower), historically described as operating out of Germany and offering PPS (Pay‑Per‑Share) payouts with Stratum (and legacy getwork) mining endpoints. (en.bitcoin.it)

What it is (category: miner-validator)

• Miner (pool): BTCMP is/was a mining pool, meaning it aggregates miners’ hashrate and constructs candidate blocks on their behalf, then distributes rewards according to its payout scheme. (en.bitcoin.it)
• “Validator” (Bitcoin sense): In Bitcoin, “validation” is performed by full nodes that verify blocks and transactions against consensus rules; miners/pools are not “validators” in the proof‑of‑stake meaning of the term. A mining pool can be said to participate in the production of valid blocks, but it does not occupy a special validator role distinct from other nodes. (en.bitcoin.it)

Identifiers and historical metadata

• Service start date: June 28, 2011 (as recorded by Bitcoin Wiki). (en.bitcoin.it)
• Coinbase “signature” / tag: blocks attributed to this pool have been documented with the coinbase marker /stratum/. (en.bitcoin.it)
• Fees (as documented historically): 4% (Stratum) and 6% (getwork) under PPS. (en.bitcoin.it)
