Pooled Mining

Pooled mining is a mining approach where multiple generating clients contribute to the generation of a block, and then split the VirtaCoin block reward according the contributed processing power.
Pooled mining effectively reduces the granularity of the block generation reward, spreading it out more smoothly over time.
To join a pool to mine VirtaCoins please see the list of mining pools below.
To learn how to effectively mine in pool please see the Pooled Mining Guide (For Windows).
