Are there any mining pools?

Absolutely. Here are links to some of the pools. Each pool will have different instructions on how to join and get set up. While we try to work with reliable pool operators, LBRY Inc. does not officially run or endorse any one pool. You can also rent hashrate.

However, some pools are in a partnership with the independent community initiative at LBRY.Community. These pools fund development and expansion of the community by donating 10% of their LBC revenues. This is a great way to contribute directly to the community!

The current breakdown of mining hash rates can be found on Mining Pool Stats

How do I get involved without hardware?

You can purchase hashing power through a service called NiceHash. Luxor has written up a great guide about it here. There may be other providers where LBRY hash is also available, but proceed as your own caution.
