BTC.com launches new service for Ethereum miners

BTC.com, a major mining pool operator and cryptocurrency wallet provider, is expanding its list of services. The website staff announced that they are adding an Ethereum block explorer service.

The new block explorer provides the same data as other similar services. It will display the Ether price, market capitalization, transaction fee, and the approximate confirmation time. The service will also allow users to track ETH transactions and the rating of ERC-20 tokens. 

BTC.com's Block explorer is pretty standard. You can also find similar information on other sites, such as Etherscan. 

It is interesting that the statement about the launch of the browser was accompanied by a statement about opening Ethereum mining pools. According to the developers, these mining pools will combat the problem of reducing the profitability of Ethereum mining by allowing the cryptocurrency to be mined on basic hardware. 

The service will provide information useful to miners - mining difficulty, hashrate, and pool distribution. By providing this information, BTC.com plans to attract new users to mine Ethereum and Ethereum Classic.

BTC.com knows how to attract users - at the moment it is one of the largest mining pools, controlling approximately 18% of all bitcoins. This is one of the mining pools owned by Bitmain. Currently, BTC.com controls just 1% of Ether mining. The peculiarity of this service is that it will generate traffic not only from miners, but also from investors and developers.
