Attributed from each block's coinbase: the tag a pool writes into it and the address it pays, matched against CoinSpectrum's own tag list; an address paid only in one pool's tagged blocks counts for that pool in its untagged blocks too. An unnamed miner is one tag, shown as written, or one payout address that found 2% of the blocks or more. Blocks read from Zelcore's Zcash explorer, read 1 h before the build. Fees, payout methods and minimums are from each pool's own pages, checked 9 November 2026; a dash means the pool's pages don't say. Pools' own hashrate figures are not used. The list is in /api/v1/mining-pools.json.
