DiscusFish/F2Pool

Officially known as F2Pool, this Chinese pool is also known as DiscusFish due to its logo — a discus fish. It is operated by Wang Chun and Mao Shihang, "two Chinese technology enthusiasts," Chun told CoinDesk in September 2014. A spokesperson told Business Insider that the pool owns no hardware itself; 100% of its hash power comes from users.
In July 2015, F2Pool generated the then-largest bitcoin transaction ever in order to clear up a spam attack of "dust" or tiny bitcoin transactions apparently intended to clog up the network.
