# Public Pool Directory
`pool.bitflash.network` should be a public directory, not a network dependency.
Nodes discover pools through Nostr and `.btf`; the website only helps humans
compare operators.
Operators can publish the `pool_status.json` and `pool_rounds.json` files
produced by:
```bash
bitflash -nogui -gen -operator \
-poolstatusfile=/var/www/pool_status.json \
-poolroundsfile=/var/www/pool_rounds.json
```
Build a static directory from one or more status files:
```bash
python3 scripts/build-pool-index.py --out-dir public/pool \
https://operator-one.example/pool_status.json \
https://operator-two.example/pool_status.json
```
The generated output contains:
- `index.html`: human-readable ranking page.
- `pools.json`: machine-readable API for `api.bitflash.network/pools.json`.
When a source is an HTTP(S) `pool_status.json`, the directory links to a
`pool_rounds.json` proof file next to it. That file records the block height,
block hash, coinbase txid, coinbase value, pool fee, total shares, per-address
share counts, computed payouts, and payout txids once paid.
Ranking order is intentionally simple:
1. online pools first;
2. higher reported hashrate;
3. more authorized miners;
4. lower fee;
5. name as a stable tie-breaker.
An entry is considered online when the source says the pool is running and its
status file is no more than 120 seconds old.
