Crypto-Currency Mining Pool Review, Rating and Ranking Website
About BlockGen
BlockGen began in March of 2015, it was formed out the idea that there is no central place to find and compare reputable crypto-currency mining pools and aims to fill that gap. It was designed to make life easy for crypto-currency miners. Say you are a miner looking to mine Bitcoin, all you would have to do is use the filter and select the crypto-currency Bitcoin and all the pools that will allow you to mine Bitcoin or payout in Bitcoin will appear in a ranking order from best to worst. No more searching through various forum threads, google searches, and everywhere else. Pools are consolidated and easy to filter, for whatever you are looking for.
While open source and/or free pool software is great for the crypto-currency community, sometimes it can also bring about bad people. There has been numerous pools in the past that have stolen miners' coins, or charged them more fees when they were stating, and many other bad things. BlockGen aims to alleviate this problem, by holding them accountable for their actions via reviews and ratings. If miners see that a pool has gotten horrible reviews/ratings over an extended period of time they will know to stay away from said pool.
How it Works
BlockGen Score
The BlockGen score is just a simple formula that assigns a score to a pool based on the number of reviews and average rating, this is what ranks the pools by default on our homepage. The BlockGen score updates every hour. The score does not take effect until there is at least 2 reviews.
For Miners
Simply register an account and activate it, once activated you can rate/review your favorite pools. You can rate/review multiple pools, however we have a hard limit set in place so you can only rate/review any given pool once per week. Comments are not limited.
For Pool Admins
Pool admins can register an account on BlockGen and add their mining pool, after their ownership/relation to said pool has been manually verified by the BlockGen admin team they will have complete access over their Pool Details page. They have the ability to edit all of their pool details, upload banners and logos, write their own description, and much more. The pool admin is allowed to reply to reviews on their pool, and they are highlighted and called "Official Replies".
BlockGen admins DO NOT post reviews, and heavily monitor all reviews to make sure they are spam free and that multiple reviews for one pool are not made from the same IP or pool admin.
