No registration required, no custodial payment schemes, no pool operator wallets.
This is a NOT-FOR-PROFIT pool; all care is given but no responsibility is taken in the event of an issue with the pool.
Just point your miner to:
librepool.eldamar.icu:3333Set your username to your Bitcoin address with any or even no worker extension, and any password.
Example:
cgminer -o stratum+tcp://librepool.eldamar.icu:3333 -u 1PKN98VN2z5gwSGZvGKS2bj8aADZBkyhkZ.0 -p x
Or in your ASIC miner's configuration boxes:
Pool:librepool.eldamar.icu
Port:3333
Username:1PKN98VN2z5gwSGZvGKS2bj8aADZBkyhkZ.0
Password (ignored):x
If you enter an invalid address, you will be rejected.

LibrePool does NOT filter any transactions and uses Bitcoin Knots UASF rc1 transaction selection with Knots UASF rc1 mempool policy. Live monitoring of the pool's transactions can be done at any time by examining the following URL:

The most commonly asked question is why your mining statistics are not showing up under users. The reason for this is your mining hashrate is too low to be detected by the pool due to a minimum difficulty of 10,000 set. The pool will eventually pick up your shares and slowly adjust to suit your mining hardware.
If you are using client software that supports the client-diff option, you can set this to a lower value, with 1 being the minimum, but it has no influence on your chance of finding a block, as shares are cosmetic for feedback only here.
Hashrates < 100 GH/s are not recommended to mine Bitcoin as it is unrealistic they will ever find a block. Feel free to try them as a learning experience or proof of concept, but it is highly recommended you don't thrash such devices and waste your time and energy.
CPU, GPU, and FPGA miners are never recommended for mining Bitcoin.
Nerdminers are demonstration toys only that simply waste bandwidth to the pool; please do not mine with them here.
Mining at LibrePool avoids the overheads of running a full Bitcoin node that requires both great storage and bandwidth for optimal performance. LibrePool is extensively connected to high-speed, low-latency Bitcoin nodes for rapid block change notification and propagation. It also supports all stratum-mining-compatible ASIC miners with no registration required.
Easily mine to your own address without needing to rely upon custodial payout systems or risking your rewards with pool operators.
Payouts are calculated based on SPLNS.
