Predictive Block-Template Engine · DATUM-Native · Knots Spam-Filter

Predict the next three Bitcoin block templates.

PreBlock is the predictive block-template engine for Bitcoin pools. Bitcoin Knots filters the spam upstream, our scorer ranks the rest, and DATUM injects the optimised template — all on a single machine. No GPU farm required.

Clean blocks. Real fees. No spam.

We don't run Bitcoin Core — we run Bitcoin Knots. It filters Ordinals, Inscriptions and other non-financial payload before our predictor ever sees the mempool. The result: pool operators mine the transactions that actually pay, not data scribbles disguised as transfers.

What it does

One platform. Eight modules. Zero noise.

Every component is purpose-built for predictive mining on a single Sphere node — no GPU clusters, no obscure dependencies, no external SaaS.

Mempool Radar

Live ZMQ stream sorted by effective fee-rate. Three lookahead buckets (h+1, h+2, h+3) at every tick. Legacy-input + dormancy detection as second-order signals.

ZMQ rawtx3-block buckets

DATUM Gateway Monitor

Real-time view of pool connection, stratum status and worker hashrates. Connected workers, last-seen timestamps, kumulated TXs delivered to OCEAN.

Predictive uplift estimator

What does a 3.0% lift mean for your pool?

Live market data (BTC price via CoinGecko · network hashrate via blockchain.info). Adjust your inputs — the math is transparent and runs entirely in your browser. Conservative pitches assume 0.5–1.5% uplift; aggressive scenarios go up to 3% or more during volatile fee markets.

How it works

The path from mempool to pool, in milliseconds.

Bitcoin Core streams transactions via ZMQ. PreBlock's Mempool Streamer buckets them into three forward block templates. On every tip change, the predictive template is delivered to your OCEAN pool through DATUM Gateway — typically in under 50 ms.

From forensics to foresight

How PreBlock came to exist.

This product is not a startup deck. It's the mining arm of a personal research lab — born from a real loss, hardened by science, sharpened on hardware.

Bitcoin Forensics GPU Rig 7×P106 24 TB Fileserver Master Thesis Knots · DATUM · OCEAN

In 2025 I was scammed out of €9,500 worth of Bitcoin. The polite response would have been to file a police report and move on. I chose the other path: I went after the keys.

That obsession became Wallet-Master — a personal research lab for Bitcoin internals. I built tooling around address-space pattern recognition, transaction forensics, mass key-candidate generation on a GPU rig (7× P106-16, 24 TB of cold storage), and a private node infrastructure to verify everything against the live chain.

"I never recovered the €9,500. But I learned how Bitcoin actually works — from the bottom of the protocol upward, not the top of a slide deck downward."

Along the way it turned into a Master's thesis: mass-production address analysis, statistical evaluation of search spaces, AI-assisted pattern detection across community-reported puzzle ranges. The puzzles were a side quest — could one narrow the address space by detecting structural fingerprints? I worked on the thesis until four months ago, refining the methodology so the lab could feed back into it.

One of those side roads led me to the mempool. Why do blocks look the way they do before they exist? That question — asked from a forensics mindset rather than a mining-operator mindset — became PreBlock. The same techniques I used to narrow address spaces, I now use to narrow which transactions actually make it into the next three blocks.

PreBlock is the first product from the Wallet-Master lab to leave research and enter commercial release. It is built for buyers who recognise that edge in Bitcoin doesn't come from bigger fleets — it comes from understanding the protocol from a different angle.
