# miningpool-observer



**Transparency for Mining Pool Transaction Selection**

The miningpool-observer project compares block templates produced by a Bitcoin Core node to blocks produced by mining pools to provide insights about:

- Shared, missing, and extra transactions per template and block pair

- Transactions missing from multiple blocks they should have been included in

- Template and block transactions conflicting with each other

- Blocks not including transactions to or from OFAC sanctioned addresses

This project is inspired by [BitMex Research: Bitcoin Miner Transaction Fee Gathering Capability](https://blog.bitmex.com/bitcoin-miner-transaction-fee-gathering-capability/) and motivated by 9f6f1a8e55623aa320f430f9e3c6dc762c147035e713b96d72c20a58cf45fbbf.

## Self-Hosting

The miningpool-observer project is built with self-hosting in mind.

Both private and public instances, like e.g. [miningpool.observer](https://miningpool.observer), are supported.

Requirements are a Bitcoin Core node v22.0 and a PostgreSQL database.

See [docs/self-hosting.md](docs/self-hosting.md) for more information.
