Eligius, also sometimes referred to as Éloi or "Luke-Jr's pool", is 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.
