# CryptoNote Mining Pool
[Cryptocurrency miners](/recipes/cryptominer) will "pool" their GPU resources ("_hashpower_") into aggregate "_mining pools_", so that by the combined effort of all the miners, the pool will receive a reward for the blocks "mined" into the blockchain, and this reward will be distributed among the miners.
[CryptoNote](https://cryptonote.org/) is an open-source toolset designed to facilitate the creation of new privacy-focused [cryptocurrencies](https://cryptonote.org/coins)
