Why We Built Gokby: A Manifesto for Decentralized Mining
Look at the Bitcoin hashrate distribution pie chart today. What do you see?
You see two or three massive entities—Foundry, Antpool, ViaBTC—controlling over 50% to 60% of the network.
This is terrifying.
If governments decided to censor Bitcoin transactions, they wouldn't need to shut down the internet. They would just need to knock on the doors of three office buildings.
We built Gokby to fix this.
The Problem with Giants
The giant pools have become banks.
- They require KYC (Know Your Customer), linking your identity to your coins.
- They charge high fees (2% to 4%) because they know you have few options.
- They filter transactions, deciding which ones get into blocks and which ones don't.
This is not the Bitcoin we signed up for. Bitcoin is supposed to be "Permissionless."
The Gokby Promise
We are a pool built by miners, for miners. Our philosophy is simple:
- Extreme Efficiency: We run lean code. No bloated corporate overhead. This allows us to offer 0.75% fees, putting more money back into the pockets of the people securing the network.
- Absolute Privacy: No emails. No passwords. No IDs. We treat you as a sovereign individual.
- Transparency: We don't hide block rewards. We don't hide transaction fees. Our PPLNS system ensures you get exactly what you earned.
Join the Resistance
Every Terahash that points to a small, independent pool like Gokby is a vote for decentralization. It makes the network harder to attack, harder to censor, and more robust.
Don't just mine for profit. Mine for the revolution.
Mine with Gokby.
