Mining Pool Detection V2 #960

Open swatchie-1 opened 5 years ago

swatchie-1 commented 5 years ago

Hi @matiu i've been following your comments. Would like to ask:

1) For insight-api, can you tell us how does a Mining pool provide its signature so that pools.json could detect that block reward went to a specific pool? Ex: { "poolName":"Discus Fish", "url":"http://f2pool.com/", "searchStrings":[ "七彩神仙鱼", "Made in China", "Mined by user"

How does a mining pool insert "Made in China" onto the block?

2) Can Insight-api track Wallet address instead of the signature above?

Thanks.
