Hi Ronald,

That's great and yes we do.

To get started please take a look at https://poolsupport.bitcoin.com/article ... t-started-

If you want to hardware mine on our pool you will need to purchase (if you don't already have it) your own specialized ASIC mining hardware (such as an Antminer S9 or Avalon 721). We do not support CPU or GPU mining.

Hardware mining can be very expensive so that's why we also offer cloud mining contracts so people can just purchase the hashrate needed without running and maintaining costly mining hardware.

You may select a cloud mining plan here: https://pool.bitcoin.com/index_en.html#buyhashrate
