Hi All, just wanted to clear some things up.

vkbit.com is a fork of public-pool, a completely open source solo mining pool that I created over the last few months. https://github.com/benjamin-wilson/public-pool (https://web.public-pool.io). I have been working with Open Source Miners United on the Bitaxe project as well as Bitmaker and Nerdminers. I had determined that a new solo pool that is super easy to setup and run for yourself would be a great contribution to the community. I am currently hosting a small competition for nerdminers and so far we have over 2000 participating.

The project is very young and nobody has mined any mainnet blocks but I have successfully mined testnet blocks.

While you can't verify vkbit is running the published source code you can verify the Coinbase transaction being sent to your miners and I have been helped them get it deployed.

Don't trust, verify.
