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. "+ NEW" gives you a fresh receive address instantly. 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. Keys stay encrypted on your device and never leave it. CHAT • Community chat and direct messages over Nostr, with report and block tools. WHY PYBLØCK PyBLØCK is one of the few Bitcoin pools that enforces Knots' standard relay policy at the template level. No JPEGs, no inscriptions, no spam — just monetary transactions, the way Bitcoin's blockspace was meant to be used. PYBLØCK PRO AND WHALE Optional subscriptions, monthly or annual. Pro: up to 10 tracked addresses, the live block template viewer, historical hashrate charts and offline alerts. Whale: everything in Pro plus up to 25 addresses, all themes, Bitcoin Academy and analytics. Subscriptions renew automatically and can be cancelled anytime from iOS Settings.
