BTCC Pool (served via https://pool.btcc.com) refers to the Bitcoin mining pool operation associated with BTCC, a cryptocurrency exchange company that was originally founded as BTCChina (2011) and rebranded to BTCC (2015). (en.wikipedia.org)

What it is (role/category)

• Category: Miner / mining‑pool operator (often informally grouped as “miner-validator” in Bitcoin contexts, because miners effectively “validate” by producing blocks, but this is distinct from Proof‑of‑Stake validator roles).
• Function: Aggregates hashpower from participating miners and distributes rewards according to the pool’s payout method (BTCC Pool described itself as operating a pay‑per‑share (PPS) model in its own communications). (prweb.com)

Relationship to “BTCC” (the entity behind the name)

• BTCC is described as a cryptocurrency exchange business established in 2011 (BTCChina/BTCC), later affected by China’s 2017 regulatory actions and purchased in January 2018 by a Hong Kong–based investment firm (per public summaries). (en.wikipedia.org)
• In BTCC’s historical materials, BTCC Pool is presented as one of BTCC’s ecosystem products (exchange + mining pool, etc.). (prweb.com)

Operational status (important context)

• Public reporting from November 2018 states BTCC announced it would shut down mining servers on November 15, 2018 and cease operations indefinitely from November 30, 2018. (coingeek.com)
