Security & Reliability of SatoshiPool
Whether you are new to Bitcoin puzzle mining or an experienced GPU miner, you want to know one thing: is my reward safe? Here is how SatoshiPool protects you.
Split-Key: No One Has the Full Key
This is our most important security feature. The private key is split into two halves. You get one half, the pool operator holds the other. Neither side alone can access the Bitcoin.
How it works: Your GPU finds half the key. The server holds the other half. Only when both halves are combined can the full private key be formed. This happens automatically when a match is found.
- No miner can steal the prize — you only have half the key
- No hacker can steal the prize — breaking in only reveals the other half
- No single person controls it all — two-key system by design
Server: Behind Locked Doors
The pool server is not exposed directly to the internet. It sits behind a secure gateway. Think of it like a bank vault — customers interact through a secure window.
- All traffic is encrypted with HTTPS (green lock in your browser)
- Firewall blocks everything except what is necessary
- Only essential services are visible from outside
What If Someone Hacks the Server?
Even in the worst case — a hacker gains access — your rewards stay safe.
Found keys are encrypted the same way Bitcoin Core protects wallet.dat files. The encryption password is not on the server. It is stored on a physical pendrive that stays disconnected from the server. The password is over 20 random characters long — cracking it would take longer than the universe has existed.
Fair Rewards: No Cheating
The server does not trust anyone. It calculates exactly how many keys each miner scanned based on the assigned work. No one can inflate their numbers.
- Your contribution is measured accurately
- Impossible speeds are rejected automatically
- No duplicate scanning — every key range is done once
Your Privacy
- No email required — just a nickname and Bitcoin address
- Passwords stored securely — even the operator cannot read them
- No personal data — no KYC, no ID, no phone
- Fully open-source — the available code is before the latest optimizations that increased speed from 3 GH/s to 5.2 GH/s on RTX 4090
Your rewards are protected at every level. Split-key technology, encrypted storage, fair reward calculation, and full privacy. Ready to start? Join SatoshiPool or ask on Telegram.
