Overdue post for one of the best hackathons in the Bitcoin space! After attending @btcplusplus we became aware of the centralization risks of Bitcoin pool mining. 🧵👇 As community organizers, we felt compelled to empower our local communities to take action and encourage participation in the Bitcoin network. 🚀 Introducing Hash League – a leaderboard ranking #Bitcoin communities by the combined hashrate of their mining pools. Born out of @btcplusplus and a desire to decentralize pool mining. Here's how we built it: ⚙️Hash League ranks Bitcoin communities based on the total hashrate of their mining pools. It’s a live leaderboard powered by publicly accessible Stratum data. 📍Community organizers can add their meetups or mining pools via GitHub. Hashrate data is pulled live from public Stratum servers. Check it out and claim your meetup:

Hash League - Global Bitcoin Mining Pool Visualization

A leaderboard that ranks bitcoin communities by the combined hashrate of their community mining pools.

🔧 We built it by launching our own mining pool on an AWS EC2 instance using a public pool setup linked to a meetup. Then we: – Hooked it into our web app – Pointed BitAxes miners at our pool – Built a clean UI showing real-time pool rankings 🔮Next On the roadmap: – Stratum V2 SRI support – DATUM Gateway API – NOSTR integration with FROSTR for pool signature delegation that community organizers can leverage 🌐We're making enhancements before submitting it to the @Bitcoin Magazine hackathon. Feedback is welcome on the GitHub! @Stephen DeLorme and I are honored to have won: 🏆 Most Educational 🎨 Best Design 🥇 Overall 1st Place 🧡 Huge thanks to @niftynei() 🇺🇸💸🧡 and the amazing panel of judges who made the hackathon possible. We're grateful to have been a part of it! Let’s see which meetup is not all talk. Go join a pool or create a new one. Show us your proof of work!
