Bitmain has been pursuing legal action against three former employees on the grounds that they breached their non-compete agreement in setting up mining pool Poolin. Bitmain is seeking approximately $4 million in damages. In a recent court appearance, the former employees claimed that Bitmain failed to pay them the agreed compensation on time and thus voided the contract. The Poolin mining pool mined its first block in July 2018 and has since grown to rank among the largest mining pools.
