Topic: When did the 1st btc mining pool pop up? (Read 1250 times)
I think it's safe to say that Slush's Pool is the oldest pool that's still around today. Didn't realize there were older pools though.
Earliest pool software (I think) was puddinpop's pool software first introduced here: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/pooledremote-mining-open-source-updated-2010-12-24-1458
First pool: doublec was running a pool in October 2010: https://bitcointalksearch.org/topic/m.17340
(Edit: although I'm not at all sure that was a public pool. However the OP didn't ask for the first public pool, so this one is definitely the earliest of which I know).

Compute4cash developed later part of 2010 if it could be called a pool.
One of the early ones for me but not earliest ( I think )
Started mining there early 2011 and paid thrugh Paypal. Closed when Paypal started giving them the
evil eye. Memory fails me so don't remember much more, using 3870's and CPU's + early modified GUIMiner?
Google and see what you can find.

I'm pretty sure it was Slush. And the original GUIMiner by Kiv pretty much shows his pool as the default in his original tutorial.
first pool was in 2009 , November to be exact, I think it lasted 3 days.
Any more info on this? I always thought it was Slush in 2010.

I think it was slush in 2010. Read up on the earliest post's in this thread.

I did some search but no luck. I am guessing around 2011?
