# POOL BTC

> Full reference with pool data, miner specs, FAQ: [llms-full.txt](https://pool-btc.com/llms-full.txt)

> POOL BTC (pool-btc.com) is an independent comparison site for Bitcoin mining pools. It is NOT a mining pool itself and is not affiliated with BTC.com Pool (pool.btc.com) or poolbtc.io. It offers a pool ranking with a profitability calculator in BTC and USD and fee comparison (PPS / PPLNS / FPPS). It helps pick the best pool for Bitcoin mining: real net BTC/day calculations that account for electricity price ($/kWh) and pool fee.

The site is multilingual (13 languages: en, ru, zh, es, de, fr, pt, id, ar, fa, am, kk, gn). Canonical host: https://pool-btc.com/

Every URL below exists in all 13 languages: swap the locale segment, e.g. https://pool-btc.com/blog/en/<slug>/ → https://pool-btc.com/blog/ru/<slug>/. Russian and English are the source languages; the rest are translations.
