Mining Pool Reward Addresses

Reward addresses + coinbase tags for major mining pools, all-time.

How pool identification works

A coinbase transaction's scriptSig field is arbitrary bytes chosen by the miner. Pool software conventionally stuffs in a tag string so the network can attribute blocks. The tags above are exact byte patterns we look for; the addresses are the known reward outputs each pool has paid to historically.

For any block, decoding the coinbase scriptSig and matching against this table identifies the pool. We use this to power the live pool-share counts that'll appear on Reports once bitcoind finishes syncing.
