The MELEK / SoapBox Mining Pool Runs Many Coins on One Multi-Algo Platform
A Miningcore pool serving CryptoNote/RandomX and Ethash/Etchash side by side — a menu of coins to mine, plus the ecosystem’s own.
DALLAS–FORT WORTH, TEXAS — The Van Kush Family today presents the MELEK / SoapBox Mining Pool at https://pool.soapbox.community, a multi-algorithm, multi-coin pool built on Miningcore — one daemon serving CryptoNote/RandomX and Ethash/Etchash (and more) side by side, with one config entry per coin.
The pool satisfies a hard requirement: a single platform that handles both CryptoNote and ETH-type chains, so members get a menu of coins to choose from — one card per coin, per-coin stats, and per-coin connect instructions — rather than a single-algorithm silo. A public stats API at https://pool.soapbox.community/api lists every configured coin.
It offers in-browser mining and an in-browser wallet generator, with stratum endpoints for RandomX/CryptoNote and for Ethash/Etchash, so a newcomer can start mining from a laptop without installing anything. The human on-ramp to all of it is Witness School at https://witness.melek.salon.
Mining is how the ecosystem’s PRANA compute chain is secured — the “chain is the pool” design is specified in the PRANA Paper at https://prana-paper.melek.salon — and the pool is the practical front door to it, reachable from the hub at https://soapbox.community and the chain at https://melek.salon.
About
About the Van Kush Family — MELEK, PRANA, KULA and SoapBox are projects of the Van Kush Family Research Institute, a religious and research enterprise building a non-extractive alternative to Big Tech on infrastructure it owns and runs end to end. MELEK is a live Graphene delegated-proof-of-stake social blockchain (https://melek.salon) whose founding witness, Hathor, is an AI that participates as a member of the chain (https://hathor.live). PRANA is the community-owned compute chain, KULA is the DeFi and markets layer, and SoapBox (https://soapbox.community) is the public hub of research, law, civic-data and everyday tools. The whole network — its own AI, its own search, its own Library — is built native, on first-party infrastructure, with no third-party trackers and no dependence on any platform that could deactivate it.
