== Basics ==
* Founded: 2017 
* [[Mining Pool|Mining Pool.]] Started out in China but has opened [[mining]] facilities in Canada. 
* From [https://news.bitcoin.com/a-short-history-of-the-worlds-largest-bitcoin-mining-pools/?utm_medium=notification&utm_campaign=Push%20Notifications this post]  (9-2019) by [[Bitcoin.com]]:
"''History: One of the more inscrutable Chinese pools, BTC.top operates as a private mining pool, and as such is off-limits to ordinary [[miners]]. While other Chinese pools attempt to translate their services into English, BTC.top doesn’t see the need, making the pool something of an enigma to westerners.''

''Trivia: In July, BTC.top CEO Jiang Zhuoer debated [[Craig Wright]], calling [[BSV|BSV’s]] path “extreme” and the concept of locking the protocol back to the original 0.1 version “ridiculous.”"''
* Coins mined: [[BTC]], [[BCH]]
* In [https://www.ccn.com/bitcoin-market-needs-big-blocks-says-founder-btc-top-mining-pool/ this interesting] interview the founder states to be a supporter of bigger [[Block|blocks]] and denies BTC.TOP to be owned by [[Bitmain]]:
''“We chose Canada because of the relatively cheap cost and the stability of the country and policies,” BTC.TOP Founder [[Jiang Zhuoer]] told Bloomberg, adding he also considered locations in Iran and Russia."''

''He says that BTC.TOP is currently a private pool with the [[hashrate]] belonging to big [[miners]] who support [[Bitcoin Unlimited]]"''

''The founder come out hard against [[Craig Wright]], saying that "[[CSW]] has caused detrimental effects to the [[BCH]] community and I still think that CSW is a liar."''

''Some have speculated BTC.TOP’s hashrate comes primarily from [[Bitmain]], but Zhuoer states that none of the hashrate belongs to Bitmain: “Jihan Wu keeps his hashrate in [[antpool]] & [[btc.com (Mining Pool)|btc.com]]” – he says, before adding:''

''“China has many big [[Miner|miners]]. They don’t know what happen and what is [[BU]] before I contacted them one by one, but they all support big blocks once they understand what we are arguing about. They are the silent majority.”''

''"Our pool will switch to the most profitable chain automatically, let you make 30% more profit everyday,” said a BTC.TOP personnel according to a rough translation obtained by [[trustnodes]]."''
