}}'''BTC Guild''' is a [[Pooled mining|mining pool]] which offers proportional ([[PPLNS]]) based rewards, where your reward is equal to the block value, multiplied by your valid shares submitted during the round. The pool does not take a fee from each block solved, and calculates rewards to the full 8 decimal points supported by the Bitcoin protocol. The pool is run off the donations of users, and is offering premium services at different donation levels to encourage users to donate a small percentage of their rewards. Donations are taken from the individual user's reward when a block is calculated.

2.5% donators (calculated on a per block basis) are able to claim their rewards without waiting for 120 confirmations of the block. This also acts as invalid protection, similar to [[DeepBit]], where a user can claim rewards even if the block is later invalidated/orphaned by the network.

The [[coinbase]] signature for this pool is: "Mined by BTC Guild"<ref>[https://blockchain.info/tx/0a04176e074d1bc651e969929b866b8d04104a964332c96fb6913ab863e2dac0 Example of decoded coinbase]</ref>.

BTC Guild first opened up on May 9th, 2011.<ref>[http://forum.bitcoin.org/index.php?topic=7760.0 BTC Guild - 0% Fee Pool, Long polling, JSON API, invalid insurance]</ref> It is currently for sale and a possible buyer has been found. There is a 90 day notice period. If the sale does not go through, another 90 day notice period will be announced. 30 days for the pool to stop operation and an additional 60 days for users to withdraw their mining proceeds<ref>https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=49417.msg9395478#msg9395478</ref>.

}}'''Eligius''', also sometimes referred to as Éloi or "[[Luke Dashjr|Luke-Jr's]] pool", is a [[Pooled mining|mining pool]].
As of October 23, 2012, Eligius is maintained by [[User:Wizkid057|wizkid057]].<ref>https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=23768.msg1291494#msg1291494</ref>

To use it, a miner merely needs to be directed to stratum.mining.eligius.st on port 3334, with the username set to a valid bitcoin address (which receives the payout). '''No registration is needed.'''

Donation address: 1E1igiusfEjs1pCaGjEERExE9gYcrFwow7 / Mx5FUQn8oBCoRdyBTUFu9JW5SsdEku56PP<ref name="eligius"/>

Basic concepts:
* The pool charges no fees and shares are managed under the [http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS_with_Recent_Backpay CPPSRB] reward system at 100% value at the time of mining. <ref>http://eligius.st/wiki/index.php/Capped_PPS#CPPS_with_Recent_Backpay_.28CPPSRB.29</ref>
* When a block is found, all miners who have reached the minimum payout threshold (currently about 0.04 BTC and is configurable) are paid via the Generation transaction.
* The pool almost never has miner's funds, as they are paid directly to the miners from the block reward.
* If a block is orphaned, its shares become part of the next block's reward distribution.<ref name="eligius"/>
* No registration; bitcoin addresses are used for usernames.<ref name="eligius"/>
* A signed message based control panel was added for securely setting options for miners, including namecoin merged mining and donation amounts.

Eligius was announced on April 27, 2011<ref>[https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=6648.0 Please test: New Experimental Pool]</ref>. At the time the service was operated without a name, paying out even tiny coins immediately.

The [[coinbase]] signature for this pool is: "Eligius".

}}'''Bitcoin Pooled Mining''' (BPM), better known as '''Slush's pool''', is the oldest [[Pooled mining|mining pool]], and the first known to be publicly available. Slush's pool was announced on November, 27, 2010 under the name Bitcoin Pooled Mining Server<ref name="thread"/> and operated on a share strategy that involved an artificially low [[difficulty]] method that has since been determined to be vulnerable to cheating. The pool now follows a score-based method, where older shares (from beginning of the round) have a lower value than newer shares, which serves to demotivate a cheater from switching between pools inside a round. Balances accumulate on the server, and are sent out when a user-set threshold balance is reached. There is a fixed fee of 2%, as of March 10, 2011<ref>[https://www.bitcoin.org/smf/index.php?topic=1976.msg63615#msg63615 Cooperative mining (update 2011-03-10)]</ref>.

The [[coinbase]] signature for this pool is: "/slush/" <ref>[https://blockchain.info/tx/8e058f90d3f287cd25a178b4396ed362bf90ee82b2f19aaf66f56424819f3d82 Example of decoded coinbase]</ref>.
