Kano has a good point. These days. Hitting a block needs a lot of hashpower.
So even though 5 to 7% reads unknown there will be repetition of the larger hidden pools.
Bitfury used to be in that section for years as they ran a big very private pool.
I have 700 th. It would take me years to hit a block maybe never. So I won’t be one of the unknowns.
Also some times on listing may show an unknown pool for what it really is.
And another listing will miss that pool.
So,you could see 7% on one chart for unknown
And 4% on another chart for unknown.
Topic: Who is behind the "unknown" mining pool? (Read 305 times)
I was looking for the mining pool pie chart for the last 24 hrs from btc.com and blockchain.info
https://btc.com/stats/pool?pool_mode=day
https://www.blockchain.com/pools?timespan=24hours
Both sites report about 5.5 - 7.1% of "unknown" pool. Anyone know (preferably with concrete data) who is behind this "unknown" pool? Is it maybe a large mining farm that mines solo?
Most of them can be traced easily if you follow the payout addresses ...https://btc.com/stats/pool?pool_mode=day

It's rare for a 'true' unknown to ever find a block.
So for example this 6% could consist of 3% solo miners and 3% of a pool that doesn't disclose its name?
Yes you got it.

It is not an unknown pool as in one pool.
It is all the miners that hide their pool whether it is solo or a group.
So it can vary. Years ago when difficulty was small it was a much as 65% of the network as group pools were the exception not the rule.
