Parasite Mining Pool Strikes Again, Finds Second Bitcoin Block

A revolutionary Bitcoin mining pool, Parasite Pool, has successfully mined its second block, proving the effectiveness of its innovative design. The pool, which was launched in April 2025, operates on a hybrid model that combines elements of the traditional pay-per-share approach and the pure lottery system. On Friday, the pool mined block 945,601, which contained 7,398 transactions and earned 0.002 BTC in fees, with the block reward being distributed among participants. The pool's model has no parallel in mainstream mining, where a winning miner receives 1 BTC, and the remaining 2.125 BTC plus fees are distributed proportionally among all pool participants based on shares submitted since the previous block. This approach has attracted home miners, and the pool has retained its hashrate despite the 48-day gap between payouts. The second block mined by Parasite Pool carries significant weight, as it validates the pool's proportional distribution mechanics and demonstrates the potential for a hybrid model to succeed in the competitive world of Bitcoin mining.
