Eligius, also sometimes referred to as Éloi or "Luke-Jr's pool", was a mining pool.
As of October 23, 2012, Eligius is maintained by wizkid057.[1]
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
Basic concepts:
- The pool charges no fees and shares are managed under the CPPSRB reward system at 100% value at the time of mining. [2]
- 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.
- No registration; bitcoin addresses are used for usernames.
- 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[3]. At the time the service was operated without a name, paying out even tiny coins immediately.
The coinbase signature for this pool is: "Eligius".
