PyBLØCK Pocket is the official iOS companion for the PyBLØCK Bitcoin mining pool, with a self-custodial Bitcoin wallet whose keys never leave your device. POOL • Live SHA-256 pool stats: total hashrate, workers, block odds, next difficulty adjustment and every block found. • Every stratum in one place: WAVICLES (DATUM · TIDES shared payouts), CAROUSEL (a different sovereign Knots template every job), CHIRP and SV2 on Stratum V2, and DATUM. • Connection details and fees for each stratum come straight from the pool, ready to copy into your miner. • Track the BTC payout address you mine to: every worker behind it with live 1m / 5m / 1h / 1d hashrate and last-share times. Pin one address for free. • Push notifications when PyBLØCK finds a block or when your own address sees new activity. • Inspect the next block PyBLØCK's Knots node is building — every transaction tile sized by vbytes and colored by feerate. WALLET • Create a BIP39 seed (24 words plus a mandatory passphrase, with a word quiz to confirm your backup) or import one (12–24 words) and restore its addresses. • Native SegWit (bc1q) and legacy addresses.

Import a private key as legacy, SegWit or both. • A step-by-step send wizard with a final review, plus saved contacts. • PayNym (BIP-47) reusable payment codes. • Encrypted backup PDF, exported only while your device is offline. • Spending password and Face ID.
