GDPool

GDPool (miner / validator)

GDPool is a Bitcoin mining entity (a mining pool or pooled miner) that is chiefly identifiable by the “GDPool” coinbase tag embedded in blocks it produces. In other words, “GDPool” is not a consensus-layer “validator” brand in the Proof-of-Stake sense; it is a Proof-of-Work miner/pool identifier that shows up in the coinbase transaction’s arbitrary data when this entity finds a Bitcoin block.

On-chain identifiers (what you can verify)

• Coinbase tag: GDPool appears in the coinbase message of blocks attributed to this miner/pool label. (blockchain.com)
• Example block (timestamped): Bitcoin block 934,039, mined January 28, 2026 01:50:23 (UTC), shows GDPool in the coinbase message field. (blockchain.com)

What is publicly known about the operator

• Public information is sparse; in community chatter it has been described as a small independent pool, with a note that it was formerly associated (by description) with names like “lucky pool” and “miningcore.” Treat that as informal attribution unless corroborated by the operator. (w.twstalker.com)
• Third-party “recent blocks” pages also list GDPool among block finders, consistent with it being an active miner/pool tag rather than a mere alias in a dataset. (auzopool.com)

Practical classification

• Category: Miner (PoW) — i.e., a block-producing entity on Bitcoin, recognizable via its coinbase tag. (blockchain.com)
